External redecorations 2010: What colour would you like to see?

Come and see at Davy’s City Boot on Moorfields Highwalk next Tuesday 15th – drop in between 6.30 and 8pm for a glass of wine or a soft drink at the “big table” near the centre door.

Dear neighbour

External redecorations of Willoughby House will be carried out by the Barbican Estate Office’s contractors this summer. We have the opportunity to specify the colour. We are consulting with all residents in order to see what the new colour should be. The Barbican Estate Listed Management Guidelines, agreed with English Heritage, offer us a limited palette of colours, most of which are in use on other blocks. We may choose any of these colours on the palette:

1. Saxe blue: Used on Speed House at podium level

2. Oxford blue: the existing colour at Willoughby House

3. Olive green: Gilbert House

4. Dark green: The Postern

5. Grey: Cromwell Tower and Defoe House

6. Brown: not currently used anywhere

Your house group committee is recommending either switching to grey, or retaining the existing Oxford blue. However, we are willing to propose any of the colours, if there is a consensus for change.

You can give us your vote in one of three ways:

• By printing this page, cutting our and marking this form, and leaving it with the Willoughby 01 CPA
• By voting at the drop-in session at City Boot
• By sending an email to chair@willoughbyhousegroup.com

Please specify 1st, 2nd and 3rd choice. We will pick the one that achieves more than 50% of the votes cast, after taking into account 2nd choices; if it is still not 50% we will take into account 3rd choices too.
