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

Lift B working

Leave a Reply

We are pleased to inform residents that the lift in block B is now working again.

This was possible thanks to the priority given to the work from our lift maintenance company Arrow.  Arrow were on site quickly, identified there was a major fault and air-freighted spare parts from Italy.  The engineer was on-site late last night in order to restore service.  This lift was treated as especially urgent because one of our residents relies on it  since she is unable to use the stairs.

However, service could have been restored sooner if the resident who first got trapped in the lift had reported it immediately.  In future, if you find a major problem in the flats please report it to our caretaker or call the out of ours service provided by HML Shaws (0345 268 0272).

We also have to report that the failed part was a major component of the lift (pump/motor) and has cost Regatta Point over £6,000.  This raises concerns over the condition of the other lifts, which are now nearly 20 years old.  We are therefore commissioning an engineering inspection of all lifts so as to ascertain their condition and determine if preventative maintenance is required.

Lift B out of order

Leave a Reply

Some residents may already be aware that Lift B is out of order.  This is due to a failure of the motor/pump combination.  The engineers are expected to investigate the precise details of the fault today (Saturday) and will order any replacement parts on Monday.

Unfortunately, we do not know how quickly these parts can be delivered and fitted but we are pressing for the repairs to be completed as soon as possible.

We will let you know dates when we have them.

 

Fire Evacuation Plan

The Directors thought it might be a sensible idea to remind all residents what to do in the case of a fire at Regatta Point.  As such, we are sending this link to the RP Fire Evacuation Plan so that you can be prepared for just such an emergency.  Obviously, we hope you never have to use the plan but it is always worth spending a little time thinking about what you would do.
