I have just received my service charges notification - it seems a little excessive at €1900 for 10 months bearing in mind that the road is a mess, we have no rubbish collection at the top end, I cant get a phone line and the gardeners are working on the new phase! We were told at the notary that the charges would be about €400 a quarter, my bill for the quarter to March is €550.

What are peoples thoughts? When are we going to form our own community? Would anyone be interested in getting a group together to meet with AEA and/or R&Y to discuss various matters?

I have a copy of the 2007 budget if anyone wants a copy.

I have a ground floor apartment in Khios. I was concerned about security as it is possible for anyone to walk up the stairs from the swimming pool to my terrace. I have already had someone lift the electronic blind on my bedroom window, presumably to look in, and the blind is now broken. My neighbour had already installed security gates in front of the living room and master bedroom french windows. The gates are the same colour as the development and very dicreet so I decided to have some fitted too. I have now received a threatening letter from AEC asking me to remove them and replace them with an alternative design, which seems ridiculous (and a little suspicious). I am very annoyed about this, especially since they have yet to arrange a meeting for owners - after all it is our development and surely it is the owners who should be making the decisions.

I would therefore be interested in moving things forward on the community front. It would also be good to see the 2007 budget.

Best wishes and Happy New Year!
