• MSCP Upgrade – The following upgrades to the MSCP have now been completed following on from
feedback from Leaseholders regarding ongoing security issues:
Installation of automated roller shutters Fob access control to all entrance doors Installation of CCTV
Feedback has been positive
• Replacement of the embankment/parimeter fencing – the previous fencing had become rotten beyond repair. The VHMC Board of Directors agreed to fully replace with like for like fencing.
• Embankment lighting – Lights have been installed all the way down the embankment area which was previously very dark. Following on from installation the lights were vandalised, we suspect from those that used the area to loiter. To make the area more exposed we carried out a cutback of the foliage by 1.5m either side. The lights were repaired and there has been no further occurrences of vandalism.
• GSM and LED lighting upgrades – GSM units have been installed in each lift which replace the need for lift lines (and the subsequent cost for line rental). All lighting in the lifts have been replaced with more reliable and cost-effective LED lighting.
• Elm Block insurance claim – Following on from 5 identified leaks affecting flats 309/299/298/297/296, a major insurance claim has been raised overseen by Chaneys, Thames Valley Surveying and Cunningham Lyndsay Loss Adjusters. The associated works are progressing well, claim value IRO £300,000.

governed by the same rules as the exisiting visitor’s spaces onsite – 4 hours maximum stay, no return within 48 hours, unrestricted parking on Saturdays and Sundays.

Oliver Kirkham - 167 Winterthur Way requested that the bike storage in the under croft carparks is upgraded to offer more security, SM to investigate. Also, it was noted that during certain religious festivals, fireworks were being let off that were making their way onto balconies and left a lot of mess. SM to write out to advise that fireworks are not allowed onsite.
Concerns were raised regarding children playing onsite and the plans for a children’s play area, especially as there are 4 parks within walking distance.
