The first meeting of
the new committee was held yesterday. There was a lot of ground to cover
and much time was spent discussing the ongoing problems with security, parking,
use of the Leisure Centre, the state of the buildings and some of the
maintenance and snagging problems which residents are facing. The
importance of maintaining regular and effective communication with Comer was
emphasized and the Committee was pleased to learn that Helen Eames will be spending
Tuesdays on site for the foreseeable future in order to improve control over
the property management issues which are currently outstanding. A new
person (Paul) has been appointed to replace Conor O’Reilly to handle maintenance issues and we are hopeful that this will bring real improvements. Residents should note that all requests for maintenance must be directed to Helen (07760 771525 or helen@comerpropertymanagement.co.uk) in the first instance.
The Committee elected
the following persons to fulfil the formal roles required under the
constitution:
Trevor Sherling – Chairman (chairman@rcpresidents.org)
David Pollock –
Treasurer (treasurer@rcpresidents.org)
Nigel Goss –
Secretary (secretary@rcpresidents.org)
Trevor is away for lengthy periods and Nigel Jarvis
will deputise for him in his absence.
In view of the recent
problems with security which were referred to in the recent newsletter, Nigel
Jarvis is going to consider what improvements should be considered.
Obviously, this will depend on the costs involved and we will be approaching
Comer for information about this before putting any proposals to residents.
Any comments or suggestions regarding security should be sent to chairman@rcpresidents.org.
The date of 11
January 2017 has been provisionally set aside for a full Residents’ Association
meeting. Further details will be circulated in due course.
