Common Parts Power Interruptions 24/06

On Monday 24th June SSE are due to attend to replace the meters to the Landlords electrical supplies. There are 4 of these, one for each block, and they will be replaced in turn. Each will take, we are told, about 40 minutes.

This means the power to each blocks common parts will be interrupted, affecting at various times the lifts, car park gates, common parts lighting, the entryphone system and the fire alarm system (it will start bleeping). Unfortunately we can’t be specific about what. time each block will be affected, but assuming that they actually turn up the work is due to start at 08:00.

The power to individual flats will not be affected.

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.

Parcels in Lobby

With Christmas approaching the number of parcels being left in the lobby is increasing. Please remember that on several occasions in the past parcels have been stolen from here, and they are a tempting target for local ne’re-do-wells. We strongly recommend that residents have their parcels delivered to a nearly locker or drop off point if they are not going to be at home to receive them.

RPFL take no responsibility for any items left in the lobby.

Following the Residents briefing in December, this is to provide an update on various items discussed.

Residents WhatsApp Group
This is now live. Please make use of it to enquire about spare car spaces, report security concerns etc. See earlier post for details on how to join.

Change to Gym Opening Hours
The Gym opening hours have been amended. It will now close at 9:00pm – please do not use it after this time.

Guest Room Fees
Did you know that Regatta Point has two guest rooms that are available for hire to any Regatta Point resident?  They are large rooms containing a double bed, TV/DVD and en-suite shower facilities.
Must be booked and paid for in advance.
Non-smoking and freshly laundered on each booking.
Located next to lift A and D on the first floor.

The Guest Room fee has been increased from £40 to £45 per night.

Pet licences
No further licenses for dogs will be issued. It is evident that the building is not a suitable place to keep them.

General Reminders

Car parking. 
The car park continues to be abused by a minority of residents. Please only park in your demised space, unless you have consent from the owner to use another one.
The subletting of car spaces to non residents is forbidden by your lease.

Trollies
Please don’t abandon these in the corridors, this is inconsiderate and inconvenient for other residents. They should be put back in the lobby area where you (hopefully) found them.
