A Ballot for the new door colour choice in four of Weir Estate Blocks has been announced.

Residents in four blocks which are opened fronted were consulted by a ballot on door colour choice and the results show that all four blocks affected have opted for a stained colour door, though residents have been able to select their own design from the four that were available.

The four blocks, Weir which already has the pilot flat complete with the Stained door choice on show, neighbouring blocks West House, Olding House and Quennel House have all chosen to go with the Stained door. All council properties and Leaseholders who choose to have their front door replaced will now get the colour chosen in the ballot by a majority result in the ballot.

Residents had been given a choice of four colours and four designs, Red, Green, Blue and Stained as well as the designs of windows of Diamond, Four Squares, Large square panel and plain. The ballot was implemented to uniform the four blocks in one colour and prevent the estate from looking like a ‘Patch Work Quilt’ on the open blocks.

Those residents living in closed blocks will have free choice of colour and door design.

Works on Weir House are expected to commence later this month and then onto the rest of the estate.
