Estate information

Hi all

Herewith a few snippets of information

Security-

As you are all aware, there have been a spate of recent security breaches and this is a cause for great concern to us all and the board.

The board is in the process of appointing a Security Manager, and not utilising one supplied by the Security Company providing the service currently. We believe that this will help us to a large extent.

The board is also in the process of giving out the tender for a new security company.
This process should be finalised by the end of August and the successful company will commence work in our estate on the 1st September 2010.

The board is also engaging in some other measures to improve our security and these will be made known at a later stage.

The board places the security of the residents on the highest point of their priority list.

The board would however request that residents do remain careful and lock their doors and arm their alarms.

The board has found houses where residents are away and door that are not locked.

The board remains open to and would welcome any suggestions and observations and criticisms. Bear in mind that a suggestion would be appreciated where there is criticism.

New management structure-

There is a new management structure within the estate.

As you may be aware, Mr Fred Botes has been appointed the new estate manager and has commenced his work. Deon is no longer the estate manager.

Mr Botes reports to an Executive committee, which is made up of 4 board members, currently Danny Twala, Neil Diamond, George Varughese and Ryan Annandale.

The various sub committees are still in place that deal with various portfolios, eg security, architectural, environment etc.

Mr Botes is currently busy with drafting out service level agreements to be implemented with all our service providers.

Any suggestions, questions etc, can be forwarded to me and I will forward it to the correct person for feedback.

Regards

Ciarra
