Happy new year to you all .

The year started in Tenerife with nice weather then we had a few weeks of torrential rain, wind and storms.

Tenerife had been put into extra measures before Christmas as our corona virus numbers were rising steadily making us the worst Island in the Canaries.                                                We had a maximum of 4 people allowed to meet outside at a cafe or restaurant and in houses. Curfew over the whole Island from 10pm till 6 am,  and obviously closing our borders to all but essential travel.                                                                                                 These measures reversed the trend and they were eased slightly 2 weeks ago to 6 meeting at bars and restaurants also allowing inside use and our curfew is now 11pm                             Our figures are now stabilised again and we are hoping that next week the restrictions will be eased again. The islands feel a lot safer again although we still have very few tourists and our borders are still closed.

The complex has been very quiet and apart from a few dog incidents and the covidiots who don’t think the regulations apply to them, it has been peaceful and  we applaud the owners and tenants who are following the rules to get rid of this terrible virus to enable us all to get back to as near normal as we can later this year.

The pool regulations are still in place and are very  strict,  we are liable to a 15,000 euro fine for allowing the regulations to be violated, so please read carefully the signage around the pool.

The AGM planed for May this year will not now take place as current regulations severely restrict the number of people allowed to gather for a meeting, we will monitor the situation and set a date later in the year if it is at all possible

Regretfully we learnt of the passing of Richard Legg who was an owner for many years and also the first President of The Heights Community. He had the task of setting up the community and putting the many procedures in place to run the complex. We owe Richard a big thank you for making the Heights the place it is today. Our thoughts go out to Jenny and their family at this very sad time.

We look forward to seeing a lot more owners later this year as things improve around the world and the travel restrictions are removed.

Again our thanks go out to all key workers around the world who are putting themselves at risk to keep us safe we know that a lot of our owners are key workers.

Keep safe  and stick to the rules and we will come through this.
