Important information:
Windows: We would like to remind everyone to keep their windows closed (due to potential but not anticipated noise/debris/dust etc.) as well as the privacy element. The make of the insulation to the rear is EPS which is very light and can easily be blown back into your property.
Scaffold Health & Safety Risk: We would also like to remind residents not to smoke on their balconies and throw cigarette butts on the scaffold along with other items such as rubbish, toys etc. Unfortunately, cigarettes and cigarette butts can easily be blown back into the building and/or onto the scaffold or existing cladding and cause a fire.
Unauthorised access: Please note that only Equans employees and their representatives are permitted access to scaffolding. For their own safety, no other persons are allowed to climb onto the scaffold under any circumstances - this applies particularly to children! Any authorised persons accessing the scaffold outside of our normal working hours (Monday to Friday, 8am-5pm) should be immediately reported to the Police.
Residents Meeting: Our next resident's meeting will be held via Microsoft Teams on Wednesday 27th September from 6.30pm. To join: Type in the meeting ID - 310 665 659 448 and passcode - vnJxFo
Reminder: If you have not yet had an appointment carried out with regards to completing a Resident Profile and Pre-Condition Survey, please contact your RLO, Michael on 07402 861 522 to arrange a convenient date and time for this appointment to take place.
