Pest Control Update

Late last year several termite infestations occurred in the common area including some of the guard areas. The existing pest control agreement only covered periodic spraying on the building and was deemed insufficient.

Several options were available at wildly different prices and after reviewing all the options the JMC decided to install a the Rentokil Baiting System which is provided by Rentokil who are one of the world’s leading pest control companies.

image In addition to this the general pest control contract was reviewed and a decision was made award the general pest control management to Rentokil who will provide an enhanced service and still allow the JMB a modest saving per month.
The rough scope of works for the common area is as follows:
  • Treatment for Cockroaches, common ants & Rats – Monthly
  • Mosquitoes Fogging – Fortnightly
  • Mosquitoes Larvaciding – Monthly
Rentokil are also offering Villa Wangsamas Residents special rates for General Pest Control Coverage and Termite Colony Elimination Programme within their units.
Please select the links below for more information and contact details of Rentokil:
  1. General Pest Control
  2. Termite Colony Elimination Programme
Note that any engagement or agreement for the  residential coverage is strictly between the service provider and the Resident.

PROPOSED SAFE CYCLING AREA NEAR TOWER D

Dear Tower D Residents

PROPOSED SAFE CYCLING AREA NEAR TOWER D

One of the frequent requests received is for children to be allowed to cycle on the driveways and carpark. Due to safety issues this has been prohibited from day 1 in 2008 when the condominium was handed over from the Developer.

Despite the space constraints that we have however, the feasibility of a safe cycling area is currently being assessed by the JMC. It is proposed that a seldom used section of the driveway extending from Tower D to the roundabout adjacent to the Playground be closed off to vehicular access with removable road barriers and re-used as a safe cycling area.

The following rules will apply to the area:
  1. Only cycles and children scooters
  2. No dangerous stunts/jumps etc. 
  3. No skateboards or similar due to noise and damage that they cause 
  4. No ball games or badminton 
  5. Hours of use will be aligned with the playground (09:00-22:00)

Owing to the proposed rules we anticipate that this will have a negligible impact on Residents in Tower D however we are keen to hear your feedback on the proposal before any final decision is made.

Kindly note however that facilities for badminton, tennis, futsal, skateboarding were not provided by the Developer and there simply isn’t space within our condominium to accommodate these.

Feedback on the Safe Cycling Area proposal can be submitted via email to the JMC: vwm.jmc@gmail.com or in writing to the Management Office before 11:00 on Saturday 14 March 2015.

Thank you for your attention to the matter.
