Date for your diary

Over recent years the Directors have held a meeting to brief residents about what has happened in the previous year and what is planned for the next.  We usually host this in December and provide a few nibbles and drinks.

The Directors will be hosting a meeting again but this time it will be in January as it is proving too difficult to organise something when all are available in December.

Therefore, could you please make a note in your diaries that the Resident Briefing will be held on Thursday the 21st of January at 19:30 in the upper lobby.  We look forward to seeing you there.

New Caretaker

We are pleased to be able to announce that we have a new Caretaker starting work on Monday the 16th of November.  We canvassed the views of many residents and took your views into account before making the appointment.

Oscar Rivera is taking up the role and will be working from 8am to 4pm Monday to Friday and has a 3 month probationary period with a contract that runs for 12 months only.

Oscar is an experienced Estate Operative with direct experience of working in a large residential development.  He’s a very proactive person, has developed good external cleaning and basic maintenance tasks.  Good IT skills, very flexible, proactive and customer service orientated.

I hope that you will join us in welcoming Oscar on board and will offer him all the help he needs whilst he finds his feet at Regatta Point.

To All Residents,

Due to the Data Protection Act we cannot divulge any information in regard to the matter and kindly request that you do not ask HML Shaw or the Directors for any further information as we are unable to provide it.

In the meantime, we have a temporary caretaker, Mohammed Abdelaziz, who will carry out most of Neil’s duties, although he does not have access to residents’ keys.
He will be on site  8am to midday weekdays, except for Tuesday, when he will be there 11am-3pm due to a previous commitments.

As soon as the Directors have determined the best way forward we will let you all know.

Please be advised that our caretaker Neil is current on a leave of absence and we have, therefore, arranged a temporary caretaker to take over his role as of today.

His name is Mohamed Abdelaziz and he will be on site from 8am-12pm Monday to Friday.

Please note Mohamed does not have access to the key storage at Regatta Point so if you require anyone to collect keys this will not be possible in the interim and you will need to make alternative arrangements and we apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Mohamed will continue to take parcels etc. and he can be contacted on the usual numbers of 07957 355 018 & 020 8568 5432 should you require his assistance.
