Your caretaker thoughts

Dear Residents,

As you may have realised, the Directors are now in the process of recruiting a new caretaker but before we commit ourselves we would like to know your thoughts on the replacement.
The current role is reasonably  varied and is focussed on:

  • safety
  • cleaning
  • assure residents abide by tenancy agreements
  • minor repairs
  • managing the guest rooms
  • managing on-site contractors
  • postal deliveries
  • emergency repairs during office hours
  • liaise and assist residents when appropriate
  • working between 07:30 and 15:00

We would like to know your thoughts and observations on the scope of the role and the hours worked.  Please send any comments to social@regattapoint.co.uk or comment on this blog.

Neil dismissed

To All Residents,

The Directors of Regatta Point are sorry to have to inform you that, with immediate effect, Neil has been dismissed from his position as caretaker at Regatta Point for financial irregularities associated with his position.

Due to the Data Protection Act we cannot divulge any information in regard to the matter and kindly request that you do not ask HML Shaw or the Directors for any further information as we are unable to provide it.

In the meantime, we have a temporary caretaker, Mohammed Abdelaziz, who will carry out most of Neil’s duties, although he does not have access to residents’ keys.
He will be on site  8am to midday weekdays, except for Tuesday, when he will be there 11am-3pm due to a previous commitments.

As soon as the Directors have determined the best way forward we will let you all know.

Regards,
The Directors of Regatta Point Freehold Limited.

Neil on leave of absence

Please be advised that our caretaker Neil is current on a leave of absence and we have, therefore, arranged a temporary caretaker to take over his role as of today.

His name is Mohamed Abdelaziz and he will be on site from 8am-12pm Monday to Friday.

Please note Mohamed does not have access to the key storage at Regatta Point so if you require anyone to collect keys this will not be possible in the interim and you will need to make alternative arrangements and we apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Mohamed will continue to take parcels etc. and he can be contacted on the usual numbers of 07957 355 018 & 020 8568 5432 should you require his assistance.

Yours Sincerely,
Lyndsey

Front door re-instated

Dear Residents,

Today the front door intercom system has been fully re-instated following the fire.

You should now be able to open the front door remotely, by pressing  on your phone, when a caller dials your flat number from the front door entry panel.

Please take a few minutes to test that this is working for your flat.  If it is not working correctly, please contact Neil, our caretaker, who will help in getting this issue resolved.

It is quite possible that the system needs re-programming with your telephone number so please bring that information with you.

Our sincere apologies for the delay in getting this fixed but the infrastructure was old and poorly understood.

Yours Sincerely,

Lyndsey

Home fire safety guide

In light of the recent fire, the London Fire Brigade kindly distributed advice notices to all flats (they were dropped in your pigeon hole last week).

Our web pages will be updated to reflect the advice and a soft copy of the file is available here.

Home fire safety guide for purpose-built flats and maisonettes

Please take time to read the advice as sometimes it is best to stay inside your flat and sometimes it is best to leave.

Ask yourself if your are prepared for a fire breaking out inside your own flat and have working detectors fitted.

New signs are going to be installed throughout Regatta Point in the near future.  Look out for them and familiarise yourself with your escape route.
