§ Mr. CartwrightTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment (1) what proposals his Department's estates action team has considered for improving the Walpole estate, Woolwich; and if he will make a statement;
(2) whether officials from his Department's estates action team will visit the Walpole estate, Woolwich to discuss a programme of possible improvements with tenants' representatives.
§ Mr. YeoOfficials from my Department's London region office visited the Walpole estate on 14 June 1991 to discuss with council officers and tenants a proposed scheme for Walpole and the adjacent Connaught estate which the London borough of Greenwich had been invited to work up for the 1991–92 estate action programme. The scheme was subsequently withdrawn by the authority. I386W understand that a more comprehensive scheme for both estates is likely to be the subject of an estate action bid in a future year. Approval would depend on the quality of the proposed scheme in competition with other bids received.
