Details: Following a site visit on 28th November 2024, it was noted that there were bikes and, in one area, cardboard boxes being stored in the communal areas.  Please note that it is a breach of lease and Fire Regulations to store any items within any of the communal areas.  We ask that the owners of the items remove immediately please.  Failure to do so will result in TORT notices being issued and charges being incurred.

Heading: Issue with Car Park Gates
Date: 13/04/2022

Details: The engineer is booked to attend on Wednesday 20th April 2022 given the issues with the gates.  We are advised by the contractors that this is the earliest date available given the Easter period.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Heading: Issue with Car Park Gates
Date: 19/01/2022

Details: Contractors have advised that one of the gates is failing due to corrosion.  As the gates are not galvanised any moisture that gets inside the frame will collect in the bottom rail of the gate and corrode from the inside out.

The contractors have carried out a temporary repair by welding some plate on the outside of the frame but due to the condition of the steel section it will only last a couple of months at best. They advise their best option is to remove the gate and cut out the worst affected area.

The engineers will therefore attend and repair the gates on Wednesday 26th January 2022.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Heading: Apartments Only – Internal Redecoration Works
Date: 30/09/2021

Heading: Communal Bins
Date: 29/01/2021

Details: We note that unfortunately some of the residents for the houses are still using the bins in the communal area rather than using their own bins.  We are making contact with the relevant houses.  Please note that breach of lease charges will be incurred by the property owners concerned should we have to make contact again.  A reminder that the communal bins are for the apartments only.

For residents in the apartments, please ensure that you dispose of your waste correctly and place in the bins provided.  The bin men will not collect any rubbish, even if placed in sealed black bags, if it is left on the bin store floor.

We appreciate it is difficult with the missed bin collection this week.  We note some residents have tried to report to the Council.  We have also tried to report and also tried to report via the website to receive the following message:-

“Due to the impact of unprecedented levels of infection of COVID-19 Nottingham City Council has had to make the difficult decision to suspend collection of reported missed bins in order to concentrate available resources to statutory scheduled waste collection.

If we have been unable to collect your street on the scheduled collection due to unforeseen circumstances then this has already been reported and a crew will return as soon as possible”

Heading: Lighting Bollard
Date: 12/01/2021

The contractor went out to the one bollard that was knocked down again last week.  He had set back up temporarily (replacement parts due 18th January 2021).  We are advised, however, that someone has knocked the bollard down yet again.  The contractor will carry out the full repairs when the parts come in, however, we cannot stress enough on the care to be taken as obviously this is proving costly to keep repairing.  Thank you.

Heading: Tree Work at Manor House in Wilford
Date: 05/01/2021

Details: Please find detailed the response received to our enquiry about the tree work in Wilford from the Planning Enforcement Officer at Nottingham City Council:-

“I apologise for the delay in coming back to you and thank you for your patience whilst this matter has been investigated.

I am writing to inform you of the conclusion of the councils’s investigations in respect of the works to two trees in the Wilford Village Conservation Area, undertaken without the notice required by Section 211 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 having been given.

I note your previous email has referred to the taking down of a tree, although our investigation has only identified unauthorised works to two trees – a mature Ash and a young Lime.  Whilst recognising that an offence has been committed, it has been decided to conclude the matter through the issue of a caution.  It is considered this is an appropriate and proportionate resolution, and it is noted in particular that:

  • Had a notification been received, the council could not have prevented the work, other than through the service of a Tree Preservation Order (TPO).  The council’s arboriculture advisor does not consider that a TPO would have been warranted in this case;
  • The work undertaken to the trees has not destroyed their overall public amenity value and is unlikely to have threatened their long term retention, and had limited impact on the character and appearance of the conservation area;
  • Notifications under Section 211 do not require the person giving notice to be the owner of the trees, or for the owner of the trees to be notified by the council.

I note that the legislation to protect trees in conservation areas is concerned with the public amenity value of trees, and not with their protection as private property.  I understand that you may have concerns in this regard but the powers under the Town and Country Planning Act do not allow the council to see redress for any alleged damage to private property.  This would need to be addressed as a legal matter and you may wish to obtain further advice from a solicitor.

I must stress that the decision not to seek a prosecution through the courts is based on the particular circumstances of this case, and I would like to reassure you that the council remains fully committed to the tree protections in place within the Conservation Area”.

Details: We have received confirmation that Homeground will be reimbursing payments made towards insurance and they will be writing an apology letter to you all shortly.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Heading: Pedestrian Gates
Date: 16/11/2020

Details: We have received information and quotes from the contractor in relation to securing the pedestrian gates as follows:-

“To secure the pedestrian gates we would recommend installing a magnetic lock which can be released by a keypad on each side of the gate and a pneumatic ram to close the gate after it has opened.  To install this system we would need to install additional cabling which in the case of the gate at Manor House Close would require a new road crossing.  Costs as follows:-

Dann Place – supply and install a pedestrian gate gas strut closer with 2 x keypads and a magnetic lock – £1,386 plus VAT

Manor House Close – supply and install a pedestrian gate gas strut closer with 2 x keypads and a magnetic lock – £1,944 plus VAT”

Please do not hesitate to email: [email protected] by 1st December 2020 if you have any objections to the above proposals using “Wilford Pedestrian Gates” in your title.  Thank you.

Heading: Communal Bins – Apartments Only
Date: 16/11/2020

Details: Please note that the bins in the bin store are communal ones for the Apartments only.  House owners / occupants must not use the communal bins but the allocated bins provided to them.   Thank you.

Heading: Communal Bins – Bin Store Area
Date: 16/11/2020

Details: We should be grateful if all Apartment residents would observe the following recommendations in order to help keep the bin store clean and tidy:-

  • 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 paladin closest to the bin store door, when there may be others there with plenty of room in them.
  • Items such as cardboard boxes should be collapsed before being put in a paladin.
  • If you have any bulky rubbish for disposal (i.e. mattresses, furniture, etc), please contact Nottingham City Council Waste Management on 0115 915 5555 to arrange a special collection.
  • If any rubbish is split on the bin store floor, please advise us on 0121 236 5757 – option 4.

Heading: Car Park 
Date: 24/08/2020

Details: The contractor has been instructed to attend to the car park light bollard which has been knocked down.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Heading: Car Park Gates – Dann Place
Date: 21/08/2020

Details: A recommendation has been made regarding closing the gates permanently in which only a car park fob will activate them. This is because non-residents are using the car parking space to then travel into town. 

Before we make this decision and a change to the car parking system, we first need to ensure all owners and tenants do have a fob to activate the car park? Replacement car park fobs can be obtained by the gate engineer for £35 plus VAT each (total £42.00).  Please see the tab for purchasing replacement fobs.

If you have any concerns about this please email [email protected] by Monday 31st August 2020 thank you.

Heading: Coronavirus (COVID19) – update
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 https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/full-guidance-on-staying-at-home-and-away-from-others/full-guidance-on-staying-at-home-and-away-from-others

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.

CAR PARKING SPACES

Heading: Gates
Date:
30/09/19
Details:
You will note that the gates were changed to fob access 24 hours a day.  The decision to close the gates was twofold: 1. We received complaints regarding people parking who did not live on the development and 2. People were using the riverbank to fish who again, did not live at the development.  Since the gates were changed, we understand that the parking has improved and no one is now fishing on the river bank. It should be noted that several apartments were experiencing problems not being able to park in their designated car parking space but this has improved because of restrictive access.  That said, we have received a number of complaints since the change in access.  As such, the gates will be set back to the previous operation.

Following reports of further issues with the trade button, we have sent the same electrician out to investigate, who has now confirmed the following:-

* These two issues have been done since his last inspection carried out two weeks ago.

However, we can now confirm the trade button is now working between the hours of 7am -3pm.
