Heading: Coronavirus (COVID19) – ISOLATION
Date: 31/03/2020

Details: ISOLATION

If you are in self-isolation because you have or may have contracted Covid-19 it is vital that you let us know as soon as possible so that we can contact the rest of the residents to let them know that they should take extra precautions and increase their sanitation and so that, as necessary, we can organise a deep clean of the communal areas in accordance with PHE guidance.

When you contact us, please can you also advise how you are organising deliveries, particularly food, to your apartment and how rubbish is to be disposed of. Please remember: –

  • rubbish should only be placed outside of your apartment door at a specific time for collection.
  • that whoever is picking up the rubbish should be properly protected.
  • that all rubbish must be double bagged.
  • rubbish which contains personal waste (e.g. tissues) and cleaning cloths must be isolated within the flat for 72 hours before being disposed of in communal bin stores.

We would also ask that you also let us know if you become aware that any of your neighbours have gone into self-isolation.

For further useful guidance regarding isolation and social distancing please go to

Heading: Coronavirus (COVID19)
Date: 18/03/2020

Details: As you will be aware, the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak is spreading across the country and is a cause for concern for all of us. It is anticipated that COVID-19 will cause disruption to all businesses and to our day-to-day lives over the coming weeks and months.

As the government’s guidance is likely to change as time passes, we would like to make you aware we have a Business Continuity Plan (BCP) in place to enable us to maintain a level of service during these unprecedented and difficult times.

Our office is currently open, but we have systems in place to allow our staff to work remotely if required. However, in the event that our BCP is put into effect and our office has to close, even with key staff working from home and engineers/contractors in the field, it is highly likely that you will experience some disruption in the services provided due to reduced capability. We will do whatever we can to minimise any such disruption but would ask for your patience and understanding while we work to maintain services during this period.

You will appreciate this is an evolving situation. We will continue to act on the advice provided by Public Health England and will inform you if there is any material change to our business continuity. 

For further information and the latest advice regarding COVID-19, please visit: –

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-information-for-the-public

As it important that we are all kept up to date about the spread of COVID-19, we ask that you inform us immediately if you or if you know of anyone in your apartment block who has either been diagnosed with COVID-19 or advised to self-isolate. We can then make the other residents and the building service contractors aware of the situation.

We thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation.

Important – For Owners & Residents

To help protect the developments and individual properties during this period, we urge owners to ensure that all their electrical appliances, boilers, heaters, water supply, kitchen and bathroom plumbing are checked and maintained to minimise leaks.  For all owners & residents, please ensure that the security of the development is maintained by ensuring the communal doors are shut when entering and exiting the premises.  Please also be mindful of your neighbours regarding noise, especially during the day with more people having to work from home during this difficult period.

Heading: Bin Store
Date:
09/1019
Details: Further to our regular reminders about ensuring that bulky waste is not dumped in the bin store, yet again the following items have been dumped:-

  • Double mattress
  • Furniture
  • BBQ
  • Table
  • General rubbish

The bin men will not remove bulky rubbish and arrangements need to be made by residents direct with the Council for bulky or large items.

For those residents who are continually ignoring guidance about the use of the bin store, please have consideration for your neighbours and DO NOT DUMP LARGE OR BULKY ITEMS IN THE BIN STORE.  Not only is this causing issues with general waste collections but it is also costing the property owner money due to additional costs being incurred to have contractors attend and clean up.

Should we become aware on who is not using the store correctly then breach of lease charges and clean up charges will be incurred by them.

Thank you for your co-operation in this matter.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Heading: Bin Store
Date:
30/05/19
Details: We should be grateful if all residents would observe the following recommendations in order to help keep the bin store clean and tidy (for owners with tenants in situ please ensure that this information is relayed to your tenants thank you): –

  • All rubbish must be properly sealed in plastic bags, preferably bin liners.
  • All rubbish must be placed in one of the paladins provided and not left on the floor. The bin men will not remove any rubbish that is not in a paladin.
  • Do not overfill the paladins closest to the bin store door, when there may are others there with plenty of room in them.
  • Items such as cardboard boxes should be collapsed before being put in a paladin. Can the resident who has left a TV box and other boxes for kitchen appliances please cut up and bin correctly thank you.  The bin men will not take outside of the bins.
  • If you have any bulky rubbish for disposal (i.e. mattresses, furniture, etc), please contact Leicester City Council Waste Management to arrange a special collection.

Thank you for your co-operation in this matter.
