Security

HI, does anybody know exactly what's happening with the Security? I was at La Entrada last week, only to find our normal security hut empty. I was told by Gesfin that it will no longer be utilised and that a seperate security hut is going to be used - why?  Our hut looks awful empty. I was also told that it might possibly be used for storage!!! There is no way that this should happen. I bought my apartmetn on the basis that there would be manned security in the hut and now I have to look at a storage room!!  This is not going to give the right impression to people visiting La Entrada and certainly is another big minus point.  Any comments?  This whole thing is getting very tiresome......I go on holiday to have a rest and come back more stressed than when I left:(

Not good!!

Is there a residents association at La Entrada and if so does anyone know who is heading it up?

Are there any members of this forum that live in La Entrada permanently? If so it may be worthwhile doing a leaflet drop to let other owners know about this site so we can all communicate.

any thoughts?

Hi I have been informed that we now share the security with recoletta and panoramic park. So we will no longer have our own dedicated security. One would assume that the community charges should now be reduced!

 

 

 

I have emailed Gesfin re the empty security hut  at block 7 and have been told that any suggestions for the now unused hut should be sent to them and they will then be forwarded to the president.  So, any ideas?

Also, there is 1 security  guard in the day and 2 at night  at the moment.  This should increase when Panaroma Park are included.  Apparently, the new security hut is near to the pitch and put and further down toward the sea.

Some ideas for you to think about -- Maybe a games room or somewere you can sit down and read a newspaper ? Maybe a first aid room ? Maybe changing rooms for putting on your clothes after being in for a swim ?

Re:  Empty Security Hut

I say no to First Aid, as who will man it? Also no to changing room as it could end up dirty and smelly and who would clean it, especially if the toilet was also used?  Definitely no to storage.

My suggestion is,   knock it down!!  Then, put plants and flowers in to incorporate the garden and possibly a nice seat or bench.  This would give a good impression as you enter the main gate, rather than the sight of an ugly building.

I agree with you here, maralyn. Great idea. It can be a place to rest and enjoy the garden. 

Maralyn

I agree with you. Preferred option would be to demolish the hut and replace with a garden area incorporating benches. 

I agree!

I agree too, but you know they may reject it becuase of hte cost.  Who is going to the next annual meeting?  Can it be raised there?  Should we contac the president indiviudally.  I think this is a great idea, but we will need to do a lot of persuading.

I am glad some of you agree with me.  That the hut should be demolished.  Maybe And, could contact Gesfin for us and let our views be known?

Hi Everyone,

I agree that the best solution would be to demolish the hut but I also think that this will probably be refused.  I will send an email to Jose at Gesfin property and propose this idea and let you know his response.

I do not have an email address for Barry the president or Pierre the Vice-president, does anyone else?  I only have details of their apartment numbers. I am unable to attend the community meeting in June,  although I have managed to go to the last two. Will anyone else be going?

No, but it's a good point you raise. Shouldn't the preseident and VP be more engaged with teh community?  I know Panormic Park President is very proactive on their website etc.  We should at least have thier e mail addresses. I feel very uncomfortable going and knocking on their door.

Hello Everyone, please find below the response to my email from Jose at Gesfin Property re: Security hut and Intercom System:

"thank you  for your mail.
It is true that it is difficult to find a result for the hut. The Urbanisation would be prettier with more green areas, but to demolish the hut is nearly impossible. If we like to do that, we need to call a meeting where ALL proprietors need to be there and ALL need to vote for that idea to demolish the hut.
In each community it is difficult to get such a result of unanimous voting and more worse, in a community were the majority of owners don't live permanently.
Also, it is possible that in a future, the neighbours like to have a caretaker who mantains the community and then it would be very useful to have the room.
Anyway, I talk with the President about this matter".

Intercom System: "It is true that some do work and others don't. This belongs to the old doors and it's electronic system which was connected.
One time all the portal doors are changed, last week they finished the work of the electrical locks which are essential for the door system and this week the Intercom company will go on with the work, I expect  that everything works proper".

So, What does everyone think?

Also, I did enquire about email addresses for the President and Vice-President but had no luck.  Maybe they don't have them?

I don't understand why we would all need to be at a meeting?  As long as they had written confirmation?

i to say knock it down and can't see why we need to attend a meeting when a correctly drawn up document signed by each apt owner should surely be adaquate.at the end of the day the builders built it for the security patrols who now for no apparent reason  don't use it and have probably only moved to keep an eye on the building site at our expense the builder should stand the cost and sort it out it is supposed to be a luxury development after all as thats how it was sold to all of us after all.

so what do we do now?  Who will follow up?

"Shouldn't the preseident and VP be more engaged with teh community?  I know Panormic Park President is very proactive on their website etc.  We should at least have thier e mail addresses. I feel very uncomfortable going and knocking on their door."

In the UK Local Government Councillors and Members of Parliament hold regular surgeries.

Could not the management committee take over the office and the executive team take turns each day at a specified time to man the office to be available for owners/residents to consult over any issues.

Perhaps even more that than this, as Senoria De punta prima is developed, perhaps a joint committee made up representatives from each plot could work from that office to promote the area. Lets for now call is the Senoria De punta prima Chamber of Commerce. I feel sure that from the residents there are enough people with the right background who working together can make the area in to something very special.

Great idea, but who will follow up?

 

Like the idea of using the security hut as an administration office at specific times so that the community could have someone to talk to about issues, etc.  I suppose it's whether the President, Vice-President are interested in doing this?

I am going to email Jose at Gesfin again and propose that the Security Hut issue be discussed at the next meeting at the end of this month and also the issue of being unable to communicate directly with the committee.

As I have already mentioned, I am unable to attend the meeting this time. I suggest that if there is anyone out there,  that is going,  maybe you could mention the above also.....
