Presidents comments.
Paul is now back from the UK, and has asked me to write Aprils update, as he has been away from the complex for the last 6 weeks.

Complex news.
Covid 19 update,
The 2 confirmed cases on the complex have completed the isolation period, and as far as we are aware we are now Covid free. However we must not get complacent, Covid 19 is still out there, and we should all continue to maintain the safety protocols we have followed for this last 14 months. Many residents are now being invited to attend Hospitals/Clinics for Covid jabs, unfortunately people with Private health care and not on the Spanish social system are not included at this time, we will have to wait and see how this develops over the coming months
Once again, It is a legal requirement to wear a face mask at all times as soon as you leave your apartment, while on the complex and in all public areas. unfortunately there a few people who are refusing to comply with this government directive.
Water Machine, I was speaking to the water machine engineer recently, he was telling me that the water the machine dispenses is of an exceptional standard, in fact water from similar machines is sold in supermarkets, however some people are reluctant to use it and prefer to carry bottles up from the local shops.
Dogs,
As always if you rent your apartment out long term please add a ” no pets clause” in your rental contract, this wil make it far easier to deal with in the future.
Common areas, and Pool
Following on from last months update, there has been a complaint to the committee about children using the common areas and walk ways to play football, resulting in a broken connection box cover and marks to an apartment front door. Again these areas are not to be used for this purpose, as per the signs around the complex. The Swimming pools and surrounding pool area will be closed this Wednesday 12/5/21 till Saturday 15/5/21 for maintenance work, this will involve repainting the pool overflow channels, and replacing pool lamps, this requires the pool level to be dropped by 25cms. There will be no sun beds until further notice, the law says each sun bed must be disinfected after use, and its not possible to do this, Universal Properties will advise us of any change in circumstances regarding the beds.
2021 AGM,
Due to the Covid rules currently in place, AGM’s are not allowed to take place for the rest of this year, we will be advised by Universal Properties when this situation changes, the Financial report for 2020/2021 has now been sent to all owners, as you will see the Heights complex is in good credit, with very little owed by Debtors ( this is being addressed), these figures show The Heights is in a great financial position considering the impact Corona Virus has had on everyone. This has been achieved by careful management of your community funds

Security,
Our Security man is on the complex from 11pm every night till 7am in the morning, so if you have a problem please call the night time number 671 14 66 16, we may be reviewing the current security contract in the near future, however night time security will always be maintained for us all.
You may have noticed the complexes security cameras have been updated/increased/rewired, these give far better image quality than the previous ones.

Thank you , Steve,
