1. Road/pathway/lighting adoption
HRRA has been advised by the area manager of Avant Homes that adoption and work on the roads around the estate has, once again, been delayed. Works were due to start at the end of February.
We’ve been advised that the contractors who were to undertake the work gave back word at the last minute.
As a result Avant has had to put the contract out for tender again. They are awaiting tenders from three separate contractors and have advised that they anticipate having a replacement by the end of March. We’ll keep you updated on progress.
In light of this, HRRA intends to write to Avant to express our disappointment and frustration on behalf of all residents at High Royds.
2. Avant Homes Personnel changes
HRRA has also been advised of the following personnel changes within Avant Homes, Yorkshire:
Alistair Hart, MD has left the business
Jon Birkin has moved regions and is no longer responsible for the High Royds site other than for matters relating to the new Sports and Social Club.
3. Cricket pavilion
It’s expected that the demolition works on the existing pavilion will start towards the end of March. We’ve been advised that an asbestos survey has to be carried out in advance and then demolition can take place.

Avant have dragged their feet on most issues that were promised a long time ago(I have lived here for 11 years now).

I don’t believe a word that Avant say I think they have never had any intention of completing the work on this estate they are far too busy building hundreds of houses in Wakefield. If the road work was offered to 3 companies previously Avant obviously already have 2 other quotes so just get one of those to do the work it’s just more delaying tactics I’ve been hearing this for 15 years now it never changes.
