Hi All
End of November update – based on information received from Site Coordinator Karen and others currently on site:
1. COMMUNAL AREAS & GARDENS:
Gardener has now caught up with the maintenance of the garden but not the outer areas. Chairman to write Terms of Reference for gardener as it is thought this was missed from the original work specification.
Gardener has made good use of the strimmer purchased for the site in October but unfortunately we have seen no sign yet of the leaf blower that he was also paid for at this time, committee pursuing an explanation.
Quotes for communal improvements:
- Two quotes for a water well are with the committee and are still awaiting discussion
- Refinery replacement cost with Treasurer awaiting disclosure to the committee
- Road repair required to stop flooding after rain at site of communal bins / D Block – estimates received by committee and now awaiting decision from Treasurer of affordability – current state of area is shown in this image taken on the 5th December
2. PRIVATE GARDENS:
Private gardeners and one owner (B Block) still dumping rubbish at the roadside and failing to have it cleared by the council. Please, please, those of you with gardeners can you remind them of their duty to dispose of rubbish responsibly. We as owners have spent a significant amount of money on the up keep of the site so having to mention this within every update is frustrating to say the least!
In addition, two gardens with bougainvillea overhanging the outer roadside pathway (B & C Block area), please could you arrange for these to be cut back as they pose a real danger to folk walking past as these bushes do not only whip around in the wind but have very sharp thorns so could cause significant injury. It goes without saying that the cuttings should disposes of…
3. POOL
Looks good with no problems reported.
4. REFINERY:
No update – awaiting costs from Treasurer.
5. WATER WELL
Costing process complete – awaiting committee discussions.
6. MAINTENANCE FEES:
As before, four owners (B1 Vladimir & Nina Ozhgikhina, G3 Adam & Jane Watts, H4 Mark Hellyer & I2 Melanie Partington/ Titiz) continue to defy the payment of their invoices leaving the owners fund short in excess of £5,000.

8. ANNUAL COMMITTEE ELECTIONS:
As you will be aware the committee elections are now one month overdue. To speed things along please could you let the current committee know if you are intersted in signing up either as member or wish to stand for key positions of Chair, Secretary or Treasurer. I can tell you from my own experience that if done correctly it is quite time consuming but also quite rewarding.
