This years Annual Residents’ Briefing will be on Tuesday the 10th of December, starting at 7pm in the lobby. We will be offering a drink and canapes to all. Please join us if you can – and drop our Caretaker an email at caretaker@regattapoint.co.uk if you do plan to attend, so as to help plan numbers.
We will be reviewing events and financials for the past year and will then take a look ahead to what may be taking place in the next year.
Please take time to come along as we really value your feedback and the opportunity to discuss issues face to face. If you wish a particular subject to be covered please email us at directors@regattapoint.co.uk in advance, so that we can prepare.
As some of you might be aware there was a water leak into the common parts in Block A. This is now under control.
The water did seep into the smoke detector on the first floor and will be replaced once the ceiling dries out.
The Fire Alarm panel in the foyer is showing a fault as a result but will revert once the new detector is fitted. It doesn’t affect the operation of the fire alarm.
Hyperoptic have installed their cables in Regatta Point and will be rolling out their broadband in the near future.
At the moment they are offering a very good deal if you sign up to register interest (with no commitment) on www.hyperoptic.com. The offer ends very soon.
It has been discovered that we have a moth infestation in the common parts carpets.
Our Pest Control company will be attending the communal areas of the building on Monday the 9th of September starting at 10am.
A spray treatment will be carried out on the carpets and residents should try to avoid the communal areas as far as possible while the treatment is taking place and for 3 hours afterwards.
The carpets will be left unvacuumed for a couple of weeks after the treatment.
No personal items to be left out in the foyers, landings or corridors.
As a precaution it is suggested that we all keep an eye out for clothes moths in our flats and if possible use moth killer sachets in with our clothes as a deterrent.
It’s taken a few years, but we have finally managed to arrive at a solution for EV charging in the car park. The infrastructure works comprising the main switchgear, load balancing and comms equipment will shortly be installed by EVC.
On completion this infrastructure work will enable anyone who would like an EV charger to order one from EVC and have it installed and connected to the system. The chargers will be 7kW Type 2, and can be installed at the same time as the infrastructure works or at any time in the future.
The cost is largely covered by a £30k government grant which we have successfully applied for, with the balance being paid by the Freehold company. There is no cost to the service charge.
The cost of the actual charger and its final connection will be the responsibility of the end user, and will vary depending on where the car space is and its distance, and therefore amount of cabling required, from the switchrooms. For guidance this will be between £1250 and £3560.
EVC will look after all billing and maintenance of the system, which will be covered by a monthly fee paid by the users. End users will be directly billed by EVC for the cost of electricity used and the monies returned to Regatta Point.
Note that only the chargers supplied and fitted by EVC are able to be connected to the system.
If you would like a charger installed at the same time as the infrastructure works please email evs@regattapoint.co.uk with your contact details, Flat No and Car Space number so that we can pass your details to the installer. Please note that if you are a tenant you should ask your landlord to do this.
