2013 AGM update

There have been several recent enquiries regarding the date of the 2013 AGM.

Owing to preparation issues the plan to hold it earlier this month clearly didn't materialise.

We are currently trying to finalise the proposed 2014 budget so that it has little or no impact on residents and services are not unduly reduced if no service charge increase occurs. We will communicate more this once the proposal is completed.


Once everything is ready formal notices will be issued to each unit giving one months notice. Looking at the current date we anticipate a late November or early December AGM.

In the last few weeks a large mirror has also been added.

The requests to revise the opening hours are being considered and will be discussed at the next AGM.

Pool Area Furniture

For far too long the lack of pool furniture has been both an embracement and frustrating for the many residents who use the pool area.

We are please to announce that a number of sun loungers, side tables, umbrellas and table sets have been now ordered. In addition we are currently sourcing for a contractor to build some concrete benches around the side of the pool similar to the picture below.

Pleaser note that the photos are for illustrative purposed only and the colours and final finish are slightly different.

At night once the pool closes the security guards will securure the furniture to help prevent misuse.

Swimming Pool Signs

We have recently procured doubled sided lollypop signs to place round the pool when when maintenance is is taking place as well and to close off the pool outside of opening hours.

The date of full implementetion is still TBC alough it should be soon.

These signs will be connected by a chain and it is hoped that they offer a clear visual deterrent not to enter the water.

Linkbrige Gates & Lobby Door Update

One of the key security items agreed at the last AGM was the installation of access controlled gates and doors at the Link Bridges and Lobby areas along with CCTV to monitor those entrance/exits

Its frustrating that progress is slow although we are pleased to confirm that work has started.

Since these were taken more work has commenced in other blocks in preparation for the installation of the ironwork/glass doors

Iron Work/Doors
We are in the final stages of the tender process and hope to immanently award the contract. 

The JMC were recently reviewing samples of the proposed ironwork (without the glossed finish)

We aim to try and complete the all blocks in one go however this will depend on the final cost and budget available.

Debtors Update: 1 October 2013

The latest debtors report is now available for download here: 01/10/13 list of debtors by block

All residents are reminded to check their statements and report any payments that may have been missed to the management office without delay.

Unfortunately we have some very stubborn and perpetual defaulters who are being dealt with by legal action to recover the outstanding amount.

Caught on CCTV



Despite the installation of CCTV and notices advising people not to remove the plastic film in the lift its disappointing to see that these were not followed by somebody in Tower E.



In addition a person was seen in ripping down a sign in a Tower A lift and therowing it on the floor.



Please contact the Management Office or JMC if you have any information regarding the identity of these people

Lift Interior works update

The upgrade of the lift interiors has commenced although there are some delays due to sub contractor issues. The Management Office team and the JMC are working to try and resolve these problems and our lift contractor has assured us that they will make up the time later on.

Several lifts have been partially completed and whilst we are awaiting some snagging works and the fitting of the new door sensors it was decided to leave the protective plastic film in place to protect the interior.

We are extremely disappointed to note that that this film has been partially pulled off by several people with at least one person interfering with our CCTV system.

The management office are currently tracking these persons down and they are likely to be fined for damaged caused.

A notice will be added to remind residents not to remove the plastic film.

If anybody knows the persons in the video then please contact the management office or JMC in the strictest confidence.
