12th April Spring clean your balcony and terrace

It’s time to get rid of the cob-webs and welcome spring onto your balcony /terrace.
Keep your outdoor space clean and tidy by following the rules of the development (to be found in your lease). No washing or bikes on your balcony/terrace. Please remember to remove your rubbish into the bin-stores and if larger items agree with the concierge team to have them removed.

By keeping the outside clean you are also helping with not giving the foxes a place to breed.

15th February New garage-gate entry fobs

New entry fobs for the carpark to all residents will start to be issued as of 15th February. They will replace the old style fobs on a one for one basis. If you provide one old fob, a new fob will be provided to you. The cost of the replacent fobs will be borne from the service charges at a cost of £28 per fob.

Please note that the new fobs will be programmed to open two gates (1 and 3 or 2 and 4) to provide back up if your man gate is inoperable. 

Please note all old fobs will be deactivated on the 15th March 2012 when the old frequency its switched off. Any fobs not exchanged before this date will become obsolete after the 15th March 2012.

A letter from Consort Property Management has been sent out to all residents.

30th January Broadband update

At the AGM some residents wanted a second opinion on the suggestion to go for Hyperoptic, so did the Freeholders. Freehold managers, Consort and SDSRA are looking into “Openreach” to provide the cabling (fiberoptic). They are trying out 6 areas in the country and Canary Wharf is one of them. They will attach the cable from the street to outside the flat for free, and then a “small” fee for the connection will be paid by the resident. Residents can then choose what provider to use, but not Virgin (we will confirm as soon as we have more information). We would get 100Mb now and 300Mb by the end of the year. More info to follow.

26th January Become a member of SDSRA

25th January New maintenance form in the concierge office
