The Directors will recap 2018 and look forward to events in 2019 and take any questions that people attending might have. Major topics will include the state of our finances, significant increases in running costs, security and of course the windows project.
Please try and come along as they are usually very informative and social sessions. As a bribe we will be offering a little light refreshment afterwards for those who wish to hang around.

Annual Residents’ Briefing Summary
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 letter is available here: Paula Bowman Regatta Point Windows
The following are actions to be taken by the Directors as a result of the discussions:
- 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.
- 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. - Ask one of our suppliers to survey RP flat doors to see if residents want cold-smoke and/or intumescent strips fitting.
- 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.
- Secure the website so that information on keys etc. is no longer available to the public.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Incident update
As an update to the incident last week at Regatta Point you may like to know that:
- the female involved in the ‘Aggravated Burglary’ is unharmed and that the police have good forensic evidence and some CCTV footage of the intruder
- we have been informed by our Community Police Officer (PC Angela Mirzai) that we currently have good security however, we have had another bike stolen (unrelated to this incident) so we are investigating further measures
We would like to remind all residents that we are all responsible for ensuring the best level of security and that we need to be vigilant by:
- not allowing tailgating through the garage doors by pausing in the car park to wait until the gates close behind them, helping to ensure that no other cars, cyclists or pedestrians follow through and, if you feel safe to do so, to challenge anyone that comes into the car park by this means
- similarly, challenging anyone that tries to come in behind you through the front doors without being buzzed in
- to ensure that the east and west fire door emergency exits do close properly behind them.
