Annual Residents Meeting 5th December 2017
The Directors of Regatta Point Freehold Limited invited all residents and owners to the annual briefing held in the upper lobby at Regatta Point where they reviewed last year and looked ahead to the next. They aimed to brief all attendees on a variety of important matters and answer any questions raised. The Directors also wanted to gain feedback from residents on how they would like to move forward in certain matters.

Additionally, a letter from Paula Bowman regarding the windows project is similarly available. This is regardless of it being outside of the Section 20 process that the Directors are legally obliged to follow – they felt her views should be aired as requested and noted that nobody at the meeting expressed the same opinions.

The following are actions to be taken by the Directors as a result of the discussions:
- Request residents to report on their balcony paint work and wood decking to ascertain their state of repairs. Interim repair and tidy up may be needed for some so as to delay the major refurbishment.
- Checked valid emergency telephone numbers used in the UK
ANSWER: 999 and 112 work on all phones in the UK. 911 only works on mobile phones. - Ask one of our suppliers to survey RP flat doors to see if residents want cold-smoke and/or intumescent strips fitting.
- Alarm to be sounded in the event of a fire. Even with a stay put policy the consensus was that residents would want an alarm to sound so they can make their own choice.
- Secure the website so that information on keys etc. is no longer available to the public.
- Send a note asking all residents to respect others parking spaces – even if they appear not to be used. Ask Michael to co-ordinate any kind offers from residents who can make spare spaces available to fellow residents.
- Alan Kohn offered the services of his drone for inspection of the roadside elevation of the building to aid inspection for the windows tender process.
- The reaction from all attending was positive to go ahead with the new windows based on the design shown. Residents expressed gratitude for the notice of the likely cost of this work in advance. Details of how the project would be managed for each flat and the approach for internal “make good” work needs to be developed in detail.
