Response to matters raised at the 2006 AGM and residents’ meeting

November 9, 2006 / / 0 Comments

At the residents’ meeting following the AGM on 10th October the following matters arose for which I thought it would be useful to circulate further information to all lessees and residents.

These concerned how the management company works, who the current directors are, how vacancies on the board are filled and an explanation of the difference between the service charge account and the reserve fund. We’ve drafted a number of notes and you can find them at https://www.ashworthmansions.com/downloads

I’d like to thank all lessees and residents who took the time to attend the October residents’ general meeting, or who submitted questions or comments in advance of the meeting. The directors find the discussion and feedback from these meetings very helpful. You can find a copy of the summary minutes of the discussions also at https://www.ashworthmansions.com/downloads.

Update on interior redecorations

November 1, 2006 / / 0 Comments

Now that the decorators are making good progress and, in many blocks, carpets are now laid it is necessary to take care of the walls and floors.

Please do not leave anything in the communal areas and take care when entering and leaving the building with large packages etc. Damage has already been caused to one entrance via removals. Please ensure that your contractors are aware that they will pay for any damage caused.

We anticipate that all residents will be as pleased as the Directors and ourselves to see the restitution of the common parts. 

 If there are any specific items or faults that you noticed please bring these to our attention.

Progress on interior redecoration

October 16, 2006 / / 0 Comments

As you will have seen, the decorators are making good progress with the redecoration of the interior common parts. The work got off to a slightly slower start than we had hoped as the workmen found an unexpectedly large number of layers of painted lining paper and lacquered wallpaper which took a good deal of scraping/blasting to remove.

There’ll be more information in a few days but here’s the state of play at the moment:

  • Flats 47-54       Stairccase complete except for 6 front doors
  • Flats 74-83       Final painting works in progress
  • Flats 84-93       Final painting works in progress
  • Flats 1-46         Complete stripping in progress

From 18 – 27 October, the contractors will be preparing and lining all blocks. From 27 October, decoration will proceed for flats 1-49.

The new light fittings, to include emergency lighting and light sensor & the new carpet have been ordered. We’ll give you another update as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience.

In the meantime, we’d be really interested if anyone can date/identify the Edwardian wallpaper uncovered during the redecorations.  Drop us a line at editor@ashworthmansions.com or leave a reply below.
