Hi all. Just to let you know that we hosted a meeting last week for any residents that were on site and wanted to get together. The discussion was obviously regarding the up and coming community meeting. The main "gripe" is the high community charges, and what we can do to reduce them, if not for this year then certainly for next years charges.
Points we feel we can raise are:
- Cleaning fees - why so high
- Security fees the same, and we are seriously considering suggesting dispensing with the night security guard as he appears to be absent fifty percent of the time, anyway. To my mind, partial security is no security.
- Lifeguard fee - speaks for itself.
- General questioning / clarification of all other fees.
- "Manual" electric main gate key (in case of failure) available to all. We got "trapped" in side the urb for over half an hour when the electric gate failed to work - not advisable if an ambulance needs to enter or exit.
We do not know if the "President" will be elected at the meeting. If a candidate is required, I (Steve) am willing to put myself forward (champion of the people and all that !!). I don't know waht others peoples thoughts are of all the prior points are - please let us know, good or bad, but we quick, the meeting is on Friday!
Cheers,
Steve and Katie
