Further to our Notice dated 31 December 2014 on the above matter, we are pleased to announce that the new signage has been installed at all levels of the car park. The level by level installation has enabled us to make adjustments to improve the impact of the signage following feedback.
A new “Car Park Safety“ notice has also been installed at the two entry points to our car park to remind Residents on how to drive safely in the car park.
The new flow has been designed to improve safety and solve existing conflict issues which prevented some Phase 1 Residents from legally reaching their space if they entered via Gate 2.
Feedback from Residents has been generally positive; however we regret any confusion caused by conflicting road markings. The installation of the new thermoplastic road markings is expected to be completed within the next 2-3 weeks.
During this interim period several Guards are temporally assigned to the middle ramp to assist with the traffic management during peak hours in the mornings and evenings to help direct the flow.
Please be reminded that any damage or vandalism caused to the safety poles installed at turns, or to any signage, or any removal of the same, will be billed back to the Unit.
Whilst the road markings are in a state of transition please follow the new signage direction and abide by the Car Park Safety advice.
Your cooperation and support in helping to make our car park a safer place to drive in is appreciated.
Warm Regards,
Villa Wangsamas JMC

January 2015 Debtors Report
The latest debtors report as of 31 January 2015 is now available for download here: 31 January 2015 List of debtors by block.
We are pleased to highlight following continuous enforcement work over the past 6 months the debt level is decreasing and is now at the lowest level ever. Nevertheless there is still a lot of work to be done and we are determined resolve the issues with debtors.
All residents are reminded to check their statements and report any payments that may have been missed to the management office without delay.
We are also noticing some residents who request a payment plan to clear their debt become bad paymasters again after a 1-2 months and the Management Office will take swift enforcement action action against those who try to play the system.
Currently there are several major disputes owing to sub sale issues whereby an outstanding amount wasn’t settled during the sale process and they have now found that they are liable for any sums owed.
Any sums owed are attached to the unit and not an individual so it will not be possible for the JMB to either write it off or commence recovery proceedings from a previous owner.
Last year a unit owner took a previous owner to the small claims court over the sub sale debt issue and won the case. Following this judgement the JMB understands that other owners in a similar situation are now considering this course of action.

Car Park Traffic Flow FAQ
Dear Residents
We have received several good questions regarding the new traffic flow that was introduced in the car park. The below FAQ should answer the common questions that are being raised:
Why can’t downward cars turn left and upward cars turn right at the central ramp near Tower G?
This was previously looked into and rejected because the roadway would need to be 2 way and unfortunately the width is insufficient. If the road way direction was maintained (turn left) then the parking spaces on the left of the ramp would be inaccessible if those Residents enter via Gate 2. The objective of making all traffic turning right at the central ramp is to enable access to and exit from all the parking bays at Phase 1 possible regardless of which Gate you wish to enter or exit from.
Why can’t the road be closed to stop people turning left at the central ramp near Tower G?
In addition to the lack of width for a 2 way road as mentioned above this would cause access issues for the immediate spaces next to the “ramp wall”. As per the authorities' parking space guidelines such spaces need to be much wider than the standard bays that are in place to address access issues and unfortunately we are not able to relocate those spaces that would be impacted.
I now have to drive further which takes an extra 30 seconds to get to my space near Tower H/J and this is so inconvenient.
Why have you done this? The existing flow was designed when there were only Phase 1 Towers and access was only via Gate 1. So when Phase 2 was constructed and access was made possible via Gate 2 too, there were conflicting directions and on some levels it has resulted in no legal way to get to spaces near Towers E,F,G,H & J from Gate 2. The new 1 way flow not only solves this access issue but is safer.
Why is the flow on P4 different to that on P3?
The indoor Visitor parking is on P5 and P3 and following feedback from Residents regarding Visitors getting lost the objective was to make Visitor access from Gate 1 as simple as possible and the new flow achieves this. Please also note that P4 and P5 do not have the same constraints and access requirements to Towers A-D as levels P1-3.
Cars keep driving the wrong way!
Additional signs, traffic management solutions will be implemented which will be augmented by periodic traffic control from our guards. Sadly some people are just too selfish and take short-cuts to get to their spaces, disregarding the safety of others. This selfish and couldn't-care-less attitude prevails both within our car park and outside on the public highways. So our advice is please drive carefully and remain vigilant at all times.
When will the new floor arrows and road markings be installed?
Ideally this would have been done concurrently with the signage installation however due to several issues which could not be avoided this is slightly delayed and it is hoped to be completed in the next few
