January 2012
Week ending 08/01/2012	A very Happy New Year to one and all. We have received a quote for installing emergency lighting for the communal areas. Due to scale of the work required and the considerable expense we will be seeking further more competitive quotes. The 2012 service charge has been set and the invoices will be sent out shortly. Despite some on-going major works we have managed to maintain the service charge at the same comparable level to previous years.
Week ending 15/01/2012	The 2012 service letters have been sent out. Please help us to keep our costs down and the service charge low by paying promptly. Please do not attach signs to main gate. There are unsightly and damage the paintwork. If your intercom is not working please contact Redwood Estates. Please ensure you crush all cardboard boxes and place them inside the recycle bins. Anything left outside of the bins will not be removed by the bin men.
Week ending 22/01/2012	A further repair has had to be made to the Lantern House door after the weather has caused it to swell again and to stick. The door will be painted this week so please take care to avoid the wet paint. All the lights on the Mews have been checked and bulbs replaced as required. If you notice any lights are now working please let Redwood Estates know. The owner of the red van in the car park next to Nightingale Hose has agreed to remove it. A gutter engineer has been on site to quote for replacing a rotten fascia board at the rear of Artillery House and to replace the poor joint in one of the main gutter down pipes.
Week ending 29/01/2012	A repair has been made to the front door at Lantern House as a wire had been pulled out of the door release. A small area of damp has been investigated in one of the flats in Nightingale. A small repair will need to be made to seal an area where water could seep. Some small spikes have been fitted to discourage some birds from pecking the woodwork above some of the windows at the rear of Artillery House. Plans are being made for the Spring to plant around the edges of the compost area and garden store to help hide them from sight.
