Electricity Reduction
As you
may have noticed there has been a reduction in the electricity charges per
unit. We managed to negotiate a reduction in the rate which has now been fixed
for three years.
Gas Price
The gas
price reduction that was advised on the last newsletter has not yet been
implemented, as the weather has been so mild we still have over a third of capacity in
the tanks that was bought at the old
price. The reduction will be applied to the next bill.
Gas Checks
You
will note a date on your bill showing the date that your gas safety check is
due. Can you please ensure that gas safety checks are carried out and a copy of
the certificate obtained is handed in at the office for our records.
Barrier Zappers
We have
become aware that some residents are using the zappers inappropriately on the
main barrier. The zappers are intended for use when in close proximity to the
barrier. Can you please ensure you are ready to exit/enter the barrier and
remember that the zapper will close as well as open the barrier.
We accept no responsibility for damage caused through misuse of the zappers if
the barrier arm should come down on your car, or someone else.
Cats and Dogs
We have
in recent weeks had some very worrying events on the park. Four Cats (and possibly
also a dog) have died on the park with evidence pointing towards poisoning. Can
we please ask all residents to be aware and check under and around their lodges
and caravans to ensure that no anti-freeze or other poisons are left where
animals have access. The RSPCA have been informed and are working with us to
try to identify the source, if anyone has any information relating to this can
you please contact us as soon as possible. In the mean time can we please
encourage all pet owners to be vigilant.
Fouling
We have
had a complaint about dogs fouling on the park.
Please
pick up when on the park and the dog walking area, there is no need when dogs foul
in the woods unless on the foot paths
