Tenerife was put into tier 4 after a large rise in numbers of covid infections on all the Canary islands.          We have had a few cases on the complex thankfully not serious cases and we have followed strict covid rules and had the complex sanitised when we were informed and the cases confirmed.      Many people have voiced their dislike of the rules and regulations that are in force in the Canaries, we have tried to adhere as much as possible but certain owners and holiday makers were not prepared to conform “because we don’t have to do that in our country” this has been very frustrating for all that have been following the rules and also for those of  us who have been trying to get people to abide by them.

We have had people saying we need to put up more signs about wearing masks, as on the mainland of  Spain it is still mandatory by law.  We have 60 plus signs around the complex in 3 different languages and with pictures so nobody could not understand what they mean, still a majority don’t wear masks it is very frustrating. Then I get complaints there are too many signs around the Heights, I know that but what should we do !!!

The weather was nice at the beginning of the month but calima winds and rain towards the end, I must admit when you live here it is good to see some rain but we got a few years worth in a few days. There was a lot of damage in Palmar where a garage under a complex got flooded above the roofs of the cars, many cars were destroyed.

Covid regulations permitting we hope to have an AGM in May. This totally depends on numbers staying low and Tenerife getting back to tier 1.  We will know more by the end of March, if rules do not permit it may have to be a postal/email AGM but hopefully not.         Please don’t forget to make sure your community fees are up to date in March as this is our financial year end and debtors will be published in our accounts to enable us to start court proceedings at the AGM. Also you should be aware that interest is charged on all outstanding fees.

Dogs are still causing problems defecating and weeing on the complex,  this should not be happening as the rules of the complex say dogs must be on a lead at all times when in any public areas so you would think that the person holding the lead would notice when there dog has done something and clear it up !!

We are starting a program for replacing all the emergency hose reels and cases on the complex starting in March with A block, some on the complex have already been replaced so will remain.

It has been nice to see many owners here after a long absence due to Covid, it does seem to be getting back to normal but we must  still be careful to get us out of tier 4.

Take care
