A model estate - architectural model maker creates a mirrored version of Basterfield House

Architectural modelmaker Maz Weineck has created a model of Basterfield House as a fundraiser for charity Article 25. Maz says, 'This year's theme for humanitarian architecture charity Article 25's 10x10 auction is reflections. I wanted to have some fun with the theme and experiment with using mirror within my art. I decided to use Basterfield House as inspiration after going on a tour of the Golden Lane estate and being shown one the building’s flats as part of Open house festival. I like the idea of making artwork celebrating iconic architecture that is also architecture that means a lot to people. Whilst walking around the estate it was clear how much of a community there was there and how important the development was for the residents.

Sadly the way things are in London and the country at the moment people really need to be aware of their surroundings. I see so many people walking along on their phones or texting as they stumble across roads oblivious to everything around them. It's horrible but people need to not give these lowlife the chance to grab them.

Parkguard sometimes parks their van in the basement.

Police Officer and Parkguard Officer were both on the Estate for 2 hours today and patrol the estate most days.

Thankfully the young lady was not harmed.  But as it is a regular occurrence, surely the police could show presence on the Estate.  It may deter potential criminals.  Do we still have Parkguard patrol the Estate.  And is there an available number to contact them on.  I did look on our notice board in my block, but I cannot see a contact number.

Going back to people being aware. This morning I walked across the small bridge that links the Barbican to the Barbican tube station and as I was walking down the steps there was a young oriental girl with her back to me sitting on the steps with her headphones on holding a very expensive phone in front of her. She didn't hear me behind her and didn't even look up as I passed her. That is what I am talking about when I say people need to be aware. I am in no way saying they are responsible for having their phones stolen, that lies with the people who take the phone but these days you just have to have your eyes open and be careful. She wouldn't sit there with £800 pounds just laying there on the steps next to her. It maybe that the phones are mostly insured and if they lose or get them stolen they just get another one.

Even though I have lived here for a few years I have never heard of Parkguard, are they funded by the City of London Police, via the City of London Corporation?

We certainly need a contact number to dial in an emergency, perhaps the Estates Office can provide details on here or in their next bulletin. I do not wish to scare tourists or the public, but maybe large visible posters need to be placed at key locations, bus stops, Barbican Tube Station...

My question was aimed at the response from the Barbican Police team Christo.  Surely as they work alongside Parkguard, they could offer us residents a contact number?

I have looked on the notice boards in my block!  Is the number displayed on the Estate Office door, as an emergency number?
