Leave a Reply

On Friday the 18th of October George Cross (Director RPFL), Mo Bowyer (RP resident), Malcolm Wood (St. George’s Land Director) and Sean Chappell (St. George’s Snr. Construction Manager) held one of their regular liaison meetings – the aim of which is for Regatta Point to raise any issues with the development next door and for St George’s to keep us abreast with progress.

The following are highlights of the meeting:

  • Late nigh working to polish concrete will not be carried out any more following a raft of complaints about noise.
  • Groundwork on Block E, next to RP, will start in January.  Pile driving will cause vibrations.
  • RP Directors are still waiting on the surveyors report as to the state of the Eastern wall.
  • StG have proposed installing gates at either end of the public pathway along the Eastern wall that would be locked at night.  RP Directors would support this in principle.  StG to develop the idea more with the council.
  • A lot of discussion around dust. StG believe it will reduce going forward as no demolition left and very little excavation.
  • Work has started on the Thames pontoon and is expected to last 6 weeks.
  • Pub anticipated to open in April 2014 – woop!
  • Organic butcher has shown interest in moving into retail unit.
  • Directors  yet to decide on which plants to place in front planters that StG are paying for.
  • Next meeting Friday 13th December.

The Directors of Regatta Point Freehold Limited were joined by David Jackson and Duncan Lambert of HML Shaws on the 14th for a regular meeting in order to discuss various matters arising in the running of the building. The following are highlights of the discussions.

  •  The budget for 2013/14 was agreed with no increase in the service charge for yet another year. Bills will be issued ASAP.
  • The list of residents behind in payments of service charge was reviewed and direct action is ongoing by HML to recoup outstanding payments – some of which are with our solicitors.
  • The external decorations are now complete with the final accounts to be submitted soon. People are very happy with the quality of the work although the time it took was a disappointment.
  • It was agreed to continue to progress the tender to redecorate RP internally, to refurbish the sauna and to improve the gym. No decision on the details have been agreed until the specifications and budget are fully understood.
  • The front door replacement has been a fiasco with the Directors now having lost all faith in the supplier. The decision was taken to cancel the order and seek a new supplier and to replace the broken glass.
  • The state of the gardens was discussed and Ian Coates kindly agreed to contact a friend who is a gardening consultant in order to investigate options. The consultant will also be asked about options to put new plants on the roadside, internally and on the pier.
  • Notices are to be put up to clarify out of hours cover from HML Shaws and other useful contact numbers.
