The Heights was quite busy over the Christmas period and it was good to see some old faces that we haven’t seen for some time.                                                                                                  The  weather through January was varied with a lot of sunshine but also some cloud and eventually rain, torrential rain, it is still unsettled now but warm during the daytime.      The roads to Teide were closed for a short time due to snow and ice around Villaflor and above, there are some fantastic pictures of the mountain on the internet.

The T.V has been a problem on the English programs this last 6 weeks as we have had channels pixalating and we eventually lost BBC and Chanel 4 programs, this is due to the change from SD to HD systems in the UK. We managed to get both systems back but with weak signals, however this week BBC channels have gone completely and we don’t know how long Channel 4 programs will stay on our system. PH electronics, who maintain the community TV and Internet have a system that will pick up 2 channels but  this is very expensive and we’re not sure how long it will work for.   Those apartments that stream TV programs through an IPTV box are not affected and still have all the programs.  We don’t know how many apartments are still watching English TV on the community system, but we think its probably the majority. I will keep you informed of the situation.

We again ask all owners to make sure that garage spaces are used only for cars as there are many spaces again getting cluttered up with furniture and rubbish, this attracts vermin, we will be spraying the whole of the garage area in the coming month so if you could make sure your space is clean and tidy, if you rent out your space please inform your tenant.

Aparment Refurbishment,  many apartments are being refurbished at the moment and we again ask you to inform your builders of our community rules, we have copies in the office available to show them, if you require a skip you must ask permission to put on community property and we allow a maximum of 3 days, as you are aware to put a skip on the road you require a licence from the town hall.

We have quite a few maintenance projects around the complex at the moment and we hope that it is not causing too much inconvenience.

Thats all for now  regards  Paul
