Hi All,

Please can you make sure that the break glass units are not used as a regular means of leaving the building.

Activating the break glass unit leaves the building insecure. The mechanical locks do not engage.

The break glass uses more electricity to release the locks on the doors and therefore, misuse of it can lead to a faulty door. This then means all other repairs are service chargeable and at a high cost to all other residents. Furthermore, upon using the break glass, it was requires a reset which only staff members can carry out. Until that is resolved, the building is left free for anyone to access.

Please note: If you see the yellow horizon, as can be seen in the image above, this means that the door will not lock unless the break glass unit is reset. Please do not call L&Q and have a contractor attend, until I have visited and investigated in the first instance.

Only under emergency situations, should you use the break glass i.e. Fire or if the regular push to exit button is not working. In which case, you should email ahussain3@lqgroup.org.uk and inform me of the situation.

Thank you for understanding. I would be grateful if this information is cascaded to your neighbours.

Hi all residents of Chobham Manor,

To ensure that the phase one raingarden area looks its best in the coming months.

We have engaged the services of a professional landscape company to restore in the best way we can the wild flower areas and adjacent areas.

This will be an  “instant” meadow. Therefore we will be planting 12 per m2 Wildflower plug plants to the area which will give a mixture of colour for the rest of the season, and this is based on 100% coverage of all existing meadow areas (perimeter).  The centre lawn area of the rain garden will be mowed and maintained throughout summer for the purpose of recreational use.

The entirety of these works will bear no cost to residents of Chobham Manor.

The wildflower (perimeter), for an instant emergence of colour will consist of the below list of plant breeds:

 

From the original list (As per initial intent design)	densities/m2
Centaurea nigra	12
Lotus corniculatus	12
Plantago lanceolata	12
Ranunculus acris	12
Rumex acetosa	12
Saxifraga granulate (limited stock)	12
Vicia cracca	12
	12
Clinopodium vulgare	12
Daucus carota	12
Echium vulgare	12
Galium verum	12
Geranium pratense	12
Ononis spinosa	12
Salvia pratensis	12
Silene dioica	12
Succisa pratensis	12
Symphytum officinale	12
Tancetum vulgare	12
Triplospermum inodorum	12
Viola tricolor	12

 

Once the season is over (end of October) we will then strim back and re-seed all areas using the original wildflower mix which is pre-mixed by Wildflower UK in a growing medium – so that come next Spring the community will see the emergence of a new wildflower meadow, enhanced by extra species we have planted this summer.

We also intend to plant flower bulbs – these can start as early as January with snow drops, then crocus, daffs, tulips and alliums – you will see nearly 6 months of flowering with bulbs and they will come up every year. We will discuss this later in the year.

We also intend to tidy and replace where necessary the shrub beds and remove the dead tree which will be replaced in the winter.

The cutting of grass and plug planting is anticipated to commence this week (Friday – subject to change) hopefully you will all agree that now we are out of what has been an abnormal period of inclement weather and we can swiftly commence moving forward.

Should you have any questions, please do let me know by emailing me at ahussain3@lqgroup.org.uk

Thank you

Dear All,

Hope this update finds you well. I am aware of the ongoing PodPoint issues whereby some podpoints are intermittently working/ going out of service.

This is a huge inconvenience for residents and your frustration is noted.

I am currently liaising with PodPoint to resolve the matter and will have an update for you in due course. In the meantime, if you experience any issues, please do let me know by emailing me at ahussain3@lqgroup.org.uk
