700 new doors have now been successfully fitted to residents’ homes. 

Apart from looking much smarter, the new doors have the added benefits of making tenants’ homes more secure and provide much better heat insulation, which will help keep fuel bills down during winter.  They are also British Standard fire and smoke resistant, so will help prevent any fires from spreading.

Sultana Choudhury of Beechy House says, “I’m pleased with my new door. I love the colour I chose – red is my favourite!  It makes my entrance look much smarter.”

Councillor Marc Francis and Gavin Cansfield, Chief Executive of Tower Hamlets Homes, visited Mrs Choudhury to see her new door.

“I’m very impressed with the block and all its new doors”, says Cllr Francis.  “It is vital that we continue to improve Tower Hamlets residents’ homes and that residents feel more secure in their homes”. 

Gavin Cansfield added, “This is great example of the excellent work Tower Hamlets Homes has been doing recently.  We hope to continue our doors programme and replace doors on more blocks over the next few months.”

The current programme of works includes 850 new doors at Tower Hamlets Homes blocks across the borough.
