Grange Manor

2009 is well under way and with Spring fast approaching we all need to make sure that we get on top of the estate management issues. The most pressing matter to tackle is that of keeping the shared grassy areas of the estate cut and not to let them get out of hand. We have been lucky so far with the weather being cold and little growth in the grass. However, the weather is getting warmer now and we need to put in place, a contract with a landscaper to cut the grass on a regular basis. As such members of the resident’s committee will soon be doing a door to door collection to gather funds for this important task. We ask all residents to be understanding and that maintenance of the estate is a shared problem that we will all tackle together. If everyone agrees to help out then the cost per home will be very small indeed. Let’s keep our estate looking at its best!

On the 21st of October a meeting of the newly formed committee was held. At this meeting the committee positions for the coming year were formalised and an agenda for pressing items was drawn up. The most pressing item is currently to organise a grass cutting service for the estate for 2009. The committee are currently investigating options for this service and will be notifying residents of the need to collect money to pay for this service in the near future. The appearance of the entire estate is at risk if a service is not secured and there is a responsibility upon every resident to ensure that the estate is maintained as best possible to ensure that quality of life, house prices and other aspects are not affected by run down common areas. A newsletter will be circulated to the residents in the coming weeks.
