Comer Property Management - latest news

The gate on the pedestrian entrance to the underground car park has finally been fixed.  The code will be distributed by email to Residents' Assocation members shortly, but if any other residents need the code please let me know and I will forward it on to you (webmaster@rcpresidents.org).

The new security arrangements on the front gate announced at the recent RA meeting are being introduced this week.

Comer has agreed in principle to introduce charging points for electric cars.  This is encouraging news, but as yet we don't have any further details.

Benches are going to be placed near the tennis courts.

Various issues

Underground car park

The side gate has been fixed and has a new key pad.  Comer Property Management will be sending out a letter shortly to everyone who has access to the car park, but if anyone needs the code urgently, they should contact Helen Eames.  The gate can be opened from inside the car park simply by pressing the release button.

Bicycle racks

It appears that a number of bicycles have been left behind by former residents in some of the bicycle racks around the development.  Would everyone therefore please label their bikes clearly so that Comer can attempt to identify bicycles which do not belong to current residents.  Unmarked bicycles will be at risk of being removed.

Dining hall doors

Anyone using the side doors to exit from the Dining Hall should take care to ensure that the door is closed firmly behind them.  We have had a number of recent instances where the door has been left open and security compromised.

Note of meeting

A note of the informal meeting held on Wednesday can be found here.  The meeting was well attended by residents although we had to wrap up well to keep warm.  Let's hope the temperature is a bit higher for the AGM when that comes around!

The Chairman (Trevor Sherling) addresses the meeting

Meeting tomorrow

Just a reminder that we have our first Residents' Association meeting tomorrow (Wednesday) at 7.30 in the Dining Hall.  Although it is for Members only, we are keen to encourage everyone to join so any non-members who would like to come along should do so - as long as you bring your cheque made payable to RCP Residents' Assocation for the £25 membership fee, you will be most welcome!

RCP Residents' Association Meeting - 11th January 2017

To all Members of the Royal Connaught Park Residents’ Association

There will be a meeting for all members of the Residents’ Association to be held in the Dining Hall at 7.30pm on January 11^th.  This will be an informal meeting to provide an opportunity for members to meet the new Committee and to discuss how to approach some of the more pressing issues of the moment.  These include concerns about security, Comer’s failure to provide information about how our service charges are being spent, and the need for greater responsiveness and communication from Comer Property Management when things go awry or need fixing.

Our Chairman had scheduled a meeting before Christmas with Robert Sheppard, who is Comer’s main contact for matters affecting the development, but unfortunately this had to be cancelled at short notice.  The meeting will be re-arranged for an early date.

The Committee does not intend to carry on any formal business at the meeting on January 11^th since this will be reserved for the Association’s first AGM which is due to be held in May, by which time we hope to have a better indication of Comer’s approach to our concerns.
