Annual Residents Meeting 5th December 2017

The Directors of Regatta Point Freehold Limited invited all residents and owners to the annual briefing held in the upper lobby at Regatta Point where they reviewed last year and looked ahead to the next.  They aimed to brief all attendees on a variety of important matters and answer any questions raised.  The Directors also wanted to gain feedback from residents on how they would like to move forward in certain matters.

Additionally, a letter from Paula Bowman regarding the windows project is similarly available.  This is regardless of it being outside of the Section 20 process that the Directors are legally obliged to follow – they felt her views should be aired as requested and noted that nobody at the meeting expressed the same opinions.

The following are actions to be taken by the Directors as a result of the discussions:

  1. Request residents to report on their balcony paint work and wood decking to ascertain their state of repairs.  Interim repair and tidy up may be needed for some so as to delay the major refurbishment.
  2. Checked valid emergency telephone numbers used in the UK
    ANSWER: 999 and 112 work on all phones in the UK. 911 only works on mobile phones.
  3. Ask one of our suppliers to survey RP flat doors to see if residents want cold-smoke and/or intumescent strips fitting.
  4. Alarm to be sounded in the event of a fire.  Even with a stay put policy the consensus was that residents would want an alarm to sound so they can make their own choice.
  5. Secure the website so that information on keys etc. is no longer available to the public.
  6. Send a note asking all residents to respect others parking spaces – even if they appear not to be used.  Ask Michael to co-ordinate any kind offers from residents who can make spare spaces available to fellow residents.
  7. Alan Kohn offered the services of his drone for inspection of the roadside elevation of the building to aid inspection for the windows tender process.
  8. The reaction from all attending was positive to go ahead with the new windows based on the design shown. Residents expressed gratitude for the notice of the likely cost of this work in advance.  Details of how the project would be managed for each flat and the approach for internal “make good” work needs to be developed in detail.

Gym re-opened

We are pleased to be able to inform you that the gym has re-opened following the delay caused by unforeseen (and budgeted)  work and the lead-time on ordering the new floor.

I hope you will join us in agreeing that the windows, new lights, flooring and decoration have improved the room as has the creation of just a little more space following the removal of the end wall.

We will be replacing the door with one that matches the rest of Regatta Point in the near future but, if those of you that use the gym, could let us know what you think about the equipment and any improvements we could make on that front – please leave a comment in the book on the desk or post a comment on this update.

Gym closed

At long last, work will commence on the gym to install glass panels to the roadside-corridor in order to let in some natural light.  This upgrade is a result of improvements requested from a user survey we conducted asking for suggestions.

At the same time the gym will have the far end wall removed, in order to create a little more space, and it will be re-painted.

Consequently, the gym is going to be closed from Monday the 22nd of May for a period of two weeks whilst the work takes place.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

Please let us know of any other ideas you have to improve things at Regatta Point by via email at directors@regattapoint.co.uk

or, if you see something broken that needs fixing, use the fix-it form Fix-It Form

alternatively,  email the caretaker directly at caretaker@regattapoint.co.uk

Directors’ Meeting 1st March 2017

The Directors of Regatta Point Freehold Limited met for a regular meeting to discuss various matters arising in the running of the building.  The following are highlights of the discussions:

  • After many years of service to Regatta Point our account manager, Lyndsey Ridgers, will be moving to a different role at HML Shaws. She is to be replaced by Irwin Alvisse, who was introduced to all the Directors at the meeting.
  • Due to few renters returning communal keys and car park clickers our stocks have run out. We are struggling to find replacements.  In order to encourage the return of keys and clickers the deposit is to be increased to £100 with immediate effect.
  • Windows project is progressing with surveyor investigating suppliers.
  • Gym refreshment to progress as soon as possible.
  • New Fire Risks assessment to be commissioned.
  • Following on from lift B failure and urgent repair – lift engineer to be commissioned to assess all lifts.
  • Surveyor to be hired to determine source of damp patches in corridor A/B

Residents’ Briefing Summary

Thank you to all those who attended the Annual Residents’ Briefing on the 13th of December.  It was a great opportunity for the Directors to get some feedback and for ideas to be exchanged.

The main actions that were noted are:

  • The window design needs to be kept simple and the vertical design is preferred
  • The windows project as a whole needs to keep a tight rein on costs
  • Can we explore the costs of improving the ventilation in the gym refurbishment
  • Can we explore the idea of a small fridge and/or tea making facilities in the guest rooms
