Presidents comments,

Still waiting for official list of VV license holders, its been almost a year, as far as we know no complex has been able to obtain a list yet.
The convening notices have been sent to all owners for the 2025 AGM ( 16th May) at the Coy Restaurant.

We have quite a few apartments on the complex, having renovations to kitchens/bathrooms/terraces…etc. It would be polite to inform your neighbours regarding the work that’s going to be carried out, and the estimated time it’s going to take to complete.

Complex news/ issues/work updates.

We are still waiting for OTIS to deal with the Emergency signage for A block lift, despite having called them many times, they did send an engineer, but the job requires 2 engineers, so still waiting !!.

We have installed a new sign on the main garage door, reminding drivers of, 5kph/head lights/no smoking.

You are probably already aware, we had a fire on C block 4th floor, it started on the balcony, which was very badly damaged, the inside of the apartment had a lot of smoke damage, no one was seriously hurt we are pleased to say. The owner doesn’t know what caused the fire.

We keep getting large bags of waste from a rabbit or similar pet, being thrown over the wall in to the light well on the far end of C3, this has been happening for a while now, I have knocked on several doors along the corridor, but everyone denies being responsible. If you think you know who might be doing this, come and speak to us please.

28/4/25, we were affected by the large scale internet and mobile phone outage that caused major problems in mainland Spain and Portugal.

Blocks A and C also had internet issues during the month, the routers were reset several times, but it didn’t fix the problem, so we had to call P&H to deal with the problem.

Also attached to the convening notice Universal Properties sent to all owners, were the updated complex rules, which will be voted on at the meeting.

We had a front gate issue, where the lock was damaged, which caused a few issues, Nicanor replaced the lock the next morning and all seems ok.

The swimming pool.

As you will have seen attached to the convening notice, there will be a vote at the AGM to decide if we have the whole pool solarium retiled. So any further work on the raised pool surround area might be a waste of time, at the moment.

If the vote is for retiling the solarium, we will get 3 quotes for the work, and make a decision from there.

People are still leaving umbrellas up when leaving the pool, and when I was tidying up the sun loungers on Sunday morning, I found a couple of cigarette butts behind one of the beds, I really don’t understand why people can’t follow the rules !!.

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.
