The Heights
                                                                         March 2025 update

Presidents comments,

Still waiting for the list of VV holders, the new rules around property rentals that were announced on the 3rd April, say an application for a VV license has to be agreed by the surrounding neighbours, and also by the community committee before it can be granted. As we voted at the last AGM to ban anymore VV’s, there will be no more on The Heights.

I don’t normally mention the weather, however the last 3 weeks has been very unusual, we have had heavy rain, high winds, rough seas, lots of weather warnings and schools closing for a day. The Los Cristianos Carnival parade, was very lucky avoiding bad weather, and it went ahead as planned.

The 2025 AGM is fast approaching, Etelina will be sending the agenda out very soon, If you are unable to attend in person, can I ask you to pass any proxy votes to an owner please, not a renter.

If you are renting legally or illegally, can you please keep a set of rules in your apartment, remember this is meant to be a RESIDENTIAL COMPLEX.

Complex news/ issues/work updates.

An owner on A block, had returned home to the UK and left the side awnings down, due to the windy conditions one side had broken free and was hitting the framework all day and all night. The owner hadn’t left a key with anyone so our site manager had to gain access via a ladder and make it secure. It would be a good idea for all owners to leave a key with a neighbour incase of any issues.

A car was left in the garage with the keys in the ignition, the next day the owner went to the car and someone had removed the keys and locked the car, and taken the keys, the matter has now been sorted.

One of our committee members went to Clouds pool bar with friends for a drink, he noticed a large dog was in the bar with its owners, he pointed out that animals are not allowed in the bar/pool areas as per the signs, he was then verbally abused and threatened with physical assault, we held a meeting the following morning, and the person is now barred from the bar, along with his dog.

We had a new camera installed, that covers the dustbin area ( Basura) and the main gate and vehicle entrance, this is for security purposes.

The bicycle parking area by B block lift/garage, has become completely full, we are buying some more racks and these will be placed in the secure postal area, as soon as they arrive we will get them fixed in place.

I came out of the lift today on B5 and in front of me was a clothes airer full of washing, I took it into my apartment, after a while I got a call asking if I had the washing, it belonged to holiday makers in C 205, who thought it would be a good idea to take it up to the top floor of B5 to get it dry !!!.

The swimming pool.

Due to the weather we have not been able to complete the large pool surround, and now we are moving in to the Easter holiday period, we have to put this off for a while.

I had to ask a person, holiday maker, at the pool to remove a huge inflatable crocodile from the large pool, please stick to the rules, they are for your own safety.

Lots of instances of people leaving the umbrellas up when leaving the pool, please put them down when you go back to your apartment.

Library open every Wednesday from 10am to 11am, located by the post boxes. Not on public Holidays.

If you need to contact me, please call 683 16 54 16

Emergency Night/disturbance,

Starts at 11pm till 7am, you can call them on 671 14 66 16, please use them.

Thank you for taking the time to read this update,

Thanks Steve
