Report From AGM
Monday 14th October 2019
The first Annual AGM of the Residents Association was held on 14th October 2019, in combination with the first annual meeting with Watson, The Property Agent.
A report of the activities of the residents Association was given and Watson were asked questions about parking enforcement, the gardens, and access to Watson accounts (details of both are available in the recently circulated minutes).
There were 47 attendees which was gratifying and indicated interest in the activities of both groups.
The next AGM will be booked for October 2020. However, the acoustics were such in the church, that we shall probably be looking for a venue where it is more possible that all attendees can hear the whole proceedings.
Many thanks to all who attended, and for the post meeting feedback, which has been very positive.
Minutes for the AGM are available to view on our website: AGM Minutes
Defibrillator Update
Great news! The Defibrillator has been installed next to our Noticeboard and Mafalda is currently organising a training course on how to use it. Details to be confirmed in the near future.
Parking at Sales Office
We would like to remind residents about the arrangements for parking outside the Sales Office. These spaces are for sales staff and prospective purchasers only.
We have been granted access to these spaces outside working hours (6pm – 8am) with the proviso that the space is then vacated. Please adhere to these times as we do not want to lose this additional resource and have it come under the parking enforcement scheme.
