A MESSAGE FROM THE METROPOLITAN POLICE

On the evening of Friday the 13th of October at around 21:15 a female resident of Regatta Point returned to her flat to find that a male had forced entry to her premises and fled when disturbed.

He is described as a white male in his 20’s/30’s, chubby build with blonde curly hair, wearing a grey wolly hat, dark coloured tracksuit and a light coloured t-shirt.

Anyone with information is requested to contact DC HISCOCKS or DC BURT at Hounslow Police Station on 020 8247 6650 quoting CRIS 0522479/17. Alternatively, call crimestoppers for free on 0800

New fencing

Leave a Reply

Following on from a couple of bicycle thefts from the car park the Directors decided that security would be improved by installing high trellis fencing along the full length of the eastern wall at Regatta Point.  In the past this was defended by the trees that grew on the St George’s land along the wall but these were cut down as part of the re-development.  We had hoped the security gates at each end would help but the have proved ineffective.

We can never fully secure the site and one of the most common ways that people get in is by following cars in when the main gates are open.  Therefore, we would like to remind you to keep an eye out for such tail gating.

Residents’ Briefing Summary

Leave a Reply

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

Residents Briefing December 2016 v7

St. George’s Liaison Meeting – February 2016

Leave a Reply

On Thursday the 11th of February George Cross (RP Director), Mo Bowyer (RP Resident), Stephen Angell (Boat Owner) and Sean Chappell (Senior Construction Manager, St George) held one of their regular liaison meetings – the aim of which is to raise any issues with the development next door and for St George’s to keep us abreast with progress.

Apologies for Absence: Malcolm Wood (Land Director, St George)

The following are highlights of the meeting:

  • The development is moving towards a completion date of end of June 2016. More areas have already been opened up to the public and the commercial units are soon expected to have a Solicitors, Alternative Therapist and a Cider & Pizza restaurant.
  • There are now approximately 4 residential units left to sell. The marketing suite building is being demolished and the square will be re-laid as a public space.
  • Discussions with the Council and works contracts are being finalised to re-lay pavements, move bus stops inwards, reduce pavement width by one metre and lower services in order to provide a cycle lane outside St G’s. When the works are being carried out alternative pathways for pedestrians will be available on the front of the development.  This work is expected to start in April and take 12 weeks.
  • The privacy screens on top of the oval building that were initially installed were wrong in their height and opacity. They will be replaced by lower transparent glass.
  • The footpath between the St G’s development and RP (which provides access to the RP car park for boat owners) will be partially opened (river to roadside building but NOT access to road) in the next weeks. Security is to be provided by gates which will lock automatically at dusk and reopen at dawn on a daily basis. St. G will provide RP with key fobs in the next few days.  These will be issued By RP Caretaker to boat owners (to gain access to car park during night time hours) in exchange for the RP keys that have been allotted.
  • As St G’s completes the building that abuts RP, they will be moving the stairs and goods elevator next to RP. They hope to avoid encroaching on RP land but this will result in closure of the alleyway that runs alongside RP, and retention of hoarding, until the very end of the project.  RP will be contacted if requirements change.
  • As St G’s vacate the development RP’s primary contact going forward will be Premier Estates who operate the site on StG’s behalf. First point of contact should be via the concierge.

Next meeting Thursday 26th May 2016 08:30am.  Potentially the last ever meeting

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.
