06/04/2011 - Sky Upgrade
We have now arranged with BSkyB to provide Sky+ over the site. Residents can now subscribe direct for this service. The upgrade to the infrastructure was negotiated by ourselves at no charge to the Service Charge account.
Residents with their own dish will be contacted directly by Sky to arrange the removal of individual dishes/connection to the new system. This will be free of charge. Individual dishes are not allowed under the lease.
06/04/2011 - Electricity in Common Parts
We have now resolved the longstanding issues over metering and billing for the common parts consumption. We have achieved considerable savings and arranged favourable tariffs going forward. As at today we have noticed an immediate saving on the first round of invoices thatr is for the benefit of all. I would however remind owners and residents that use of electricity in the common parts is resticted to lighting, cleaning and fire alarm systems - it is not for personal use!
06/04/2011 - 2011 Service Charge
The Directors have reviewed the service charge and we are pleased to announce that due to management efficiencies achieved in 2010 the service charge will not be increased in 2011.

06/04/2011 - Anti Social Behaviour
We are aware of youths congregating on the site and entering the common parts. Our reaction has been as follows:
- to remind the residents to close the entrance doors behind them
- we are investigating changing the entrance door code (as the youths appear to have this) - this has now been done to some blocks with early success
- we have reported events to the Police who have followed up leads and issued warnings to certain individuals
- please report all instances of anti social behaviour through this website so we can have a co-ordinated effect with the authorities
