Heading: Waste Disposal
Date: 12/11/2020
Details: Problems are being experienced with some occupants not disposing of their waste correctly and just dumping rubbish outside of the bins in the bin store.  The management company are then having to instruct cleaning contractors to attend to clean up the mess that is left.  In the meantime, the bin men are not collecting the bins as they access is impeded due to the amount of rubbish that has been dumped.  

This is causing a regular and continual cycle of problems.  We understand that the bin men have not collected today and this is probably down to issues they have been experiencing in gaining access to the bins.

The bin men WILL NOT collect the bins when there is rubbish dumped outside the bins blocking access or when the bins are overflowing.  If a genuine bin collection is missed please contact Bromsgrove District Council immediately – do not simply dump rubbish in the bin store area making the situation worse.  Should we become aware of any occupant that is not disposing of their rubbish correctly, then breach of lease charges will be incurred, together with clean up costs.

Details: Please see update we have received from Bromsgrove District Council in relation to waste collection:-

“During these difficult times we’re keen to support all of our customers and keep your waste arrangements as hassle-free as possible.

With the national lockdown and self-isolation rules, many businesses have found their needs have changed significantly. We are keen to protect you from unnecessary costs. As such, we have simplified our service during this period.

We will now collect all of your residual and recycling bins as a single combined residual waste collection.

This change is designed to reduce the number of collections at this time, to reduce your costs and keep the number of vehicles and staff down to what is considered essential, in line with the current national guidance.

If you need anything different to this please contact us and we will continue to support you as far as we possibly can.

Our waste collection services are classified as an essential public service and, as such, throughout the significant effects of COVID-19 you can be certain that we are focusing our resources on keeping them running to support you when you need us.

We are also keeping our website updated at https://www.bromsgrove.gov.uk/coronavirus and sending updates out through the Bromsgrove District Council Facebook Page”.

Heading: Coronavirus (CORVID19) – 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 (CORVID19)
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 CORVID-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 CORVID-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 CORVID-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.

You and your visitors must not park in any space that is not allocated to your office. 

You and your visitors must not park anywhere on the estate roadway shown hatched in black on the site plan overleaf as this can obstruct other vehicles, especially the Emergency Services, from safely accessing all parts of the estate. Whilst this restriction applies to the whole of the estate roadway, it specifically applies to that part of the roadway by Offices 10 & 18 which has been clearly marked out as “No Parking”.

Please note also that only blue badge holders are permitted to park in the disabled bays.

In the event that your allocated spaces are full then you and your visitors must make alternative arrangements off site to park.

Thanking you for your cooperation in this matter.

We have no wish to introduce parking enforcement measures, but if the situation does not improve, we may have no alternative but to do so.  We thank you for your co-operation in this matter and trust that from now on you will only park in your allocated parking spaces and nowhere else on the estate.

Heading: Bins and Waste
Date: 14/03/19
Details: We understand that the rubbish is building up and we have made contact with Bromsgrove Council about the situation.  They will arrange to meet with Compass Block Management about the situation but have commented that on some occasions they have attended to find that rubbish has been dumped outside of the bins when the bins are empty.  Please note that the Council will not collect rubbish outside of the bins.  We understand that this may be as a result of fly tipping and again this is an issue being addressed.  In the meantime, we have instructed an independent cleaning company to attend to clear up around the bins and make good the bin area whilst the matter is being addressed.
