Smoking on balconies

We have received complaints from some of the residents at the east end of the building that they have found discarded cigarette butts on their balconies, which can only have come from the flats above.

Quite apart from this being inconsiderate and anti-social we would remind all residents that smoking (and barbecuing) anywhere on the timber balconies is strictly prohibited. Discarded cigarette butts are the No.1 cause of fires on balconies – discarding them onto other peoples balconies makes a fire even more likely.

Caretaker

We are sorry to report that Mark is unwell and will not be back to work for at least two weeks.There will be no Caretaker present tomorrow (Friday), we are endeavouring to arrange temporary cover for next week.

Hyperoptic Installation

On Monday 3rd June there will be contractors from Hyperoptic working in the building in preparation for their broadband service. You may notice some activity in the lobby outside your front door on that day.

Caretaker

We are pleased to report that Mark will be returning to work full time from next Tuesday, 7th May. His hours will be 7:30am – 3:30pm as before.

He will revert to looking after Guest Room bookings and so any future enquiries regarding this should be made to him.

Tomorrow, Thursday 2nd May, will be Jorge’s last day with us, and we would like to thank him for his sterling work over the past weeks. There will be no Caretaker on Friday.

Parcel theft from lobby

Last Friday 26th of April, at around 21:30, we again had an intruder enter the building and take residents parcels from the lobby. 

It appears he was let in via the entry phone system, and took 3 or 4 parcels. If you believe you are missing a parcel as a result of this please let the caretaker know, and report the theft on the Metropolitan Police website where you will receive a crime number.

As a further reminder – leaving parcels in the foyer is not safe. If you are not on hand to take delivery then you should make an alternative arrangement i.e. ask a neighbour to take delivery or use one of the nearby lockers or delivery points.

If you do have a parcel left in the foyer you should collect it as soon as possible.

Please do not open the front door to anyone you don’t know, including anyone who claims to be a courier or delivering food – go down to the front door and collect the parcel if it is for you.

Please also be aware of anyone attempting to follow you in through the front door.
