LADYBRIDGE PARK RESIDENTS CLUB
February – March 2019 Newsletter
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
A little
belatedly, but never-the-less, we wish you a healthy and prosperous New Year.
We hope to see you all in the club over the coming months. All those who have
been in over the past twelve months have seen what changes have been made to
the building and we are planning further improvements this year too.
Talking of
New Year – The Trustees and staff went to a great deal of trouble in an attempt
to make this year’s celebrations special but although most of those who
attended, including their paying guests, appreciated their efforts, it has been
decided that this type of event will not be repeated this year. It will be a
more informal night in both the Residents Lounge and Games room Bar with
back-ground music only.
MANAGEMENT CHARGES 2019-2020
The
Trustees are pleased to inform you all that the Management Charges will NOT be
increased for the coming year. They are mindful of the constraints we are all
under regarding our finances and, although they have been doing all they can to
make the Club a warm and welcoming place to visit, will be doing their best to
continue to do so with the funds available.
They would
ask you all, however, to continue to pay the Charges promptly and comply fully
with the Terms and Conditions, printed on the reverse of your Management Charge
Statement (which you will receive late March/early April), in order to minimise
extra expenditure in having to ‘chase up’ or remind residents of their legal
obligations.
Warning -
be aware
Just wanted to inform all
residents of the following received 24th Jan 2019:
"We
had our car broken into at around 4.20am this morning, while it was parked on
our driveway on Shiredale Close. We have
CCTV of the incident and it was a teenager/young man on a mountain bike. The car was locked and alarmed but he managed
to get in without causing any damage to the car or the alarm going off. Our car is the keyless type so he must have
been able to override it somehow.
Fortunately he only stole a few coins which we keep in the car for
parking meters etc. We have reported the
matter to the Police Neighbourhood Watch, but thought maybe when you next send
out a newsletter it might be worth warning everyone so that they can be
vigilant. Many thanks for all you do to
keep everyone informed of issues."

REMINDER: PLANNING PERMISSION
In case any of you have had any
alterations and/or extensions to your property since moving onto this estate,
ALL such work requires planning permission from the Council, as Permitted
Development Rights were removed from this estate when it was built because of
the irregular design of the roadways and the arrangement of the properties. You
also need a letter from the Management Company once planning permission
has been granted.
We have had several occasions over the
years when neglecting to do this at the correct time has held up a house-sale
or on one occasion has actually lost the vendor a sale.
When you contact the Planning Office
you need to be very precise about the alteration you are planning and your full
address as some officials are not aware of this restriction on this estate.
You can apply for Retrospective
Planning Permission from the Council and permission from the Management Company
but it is advisable to do this before the need arises as it could take some
time to obtain it from the Council.
N. B. This is not something imposed by
the Trustees. It was a restriction included in the original Deeds and is not
within their jurisdiction to have it removed.
