Dock Health and Safety
We have requested on previous occasions that motorcycles and scooters do not ride on the footpath in Dock Road. This road is not for vehicular access and it is never acceptable for vehicle to drive on the pavement. We continue to receive complaints regarding this and we request that all riders stop this practice, before someone is hurt.
The next Parking Group meeting will be held in the Clubroom on Monday 26 th October at 7.30pm. All residents are welcome.
Old Office Conversion
brentforddock.com
The development of the old management office into a 2 bedroom flat is on schedule, with the final fittings and decoration stage starting soon. The address of the new flat will be 3 Justin Close. For those residents who live near by we apologise for the noise that you have had to experience at times

The heating is now on and it may be beneficial for you to bleed your radiators. Bathroom and toilet ventilation – for the ventilation to work with maximum
efficiency it is necessary to vacuum out the vents to remove all the accumulated dust.
Sore point – the food waste bins are still not in use yet, so please do not place any rubbish in these bins. The council will contact you when the scheme goes into operation.
Parking spaces are still in demand so if you own a space that you do not use please consider renting it to another resident.
Can we again request that any cat litter placed in the bin chutes is bagged. Loose cat litter down the chutes is disgusting.
Residents’ Comments / Housekeeping Issues
What's happening on the Dock Dock Planters
The planters canal side outside Romulus and Galba and around the marina are being replanted with new plants. Additional work has also been done (or will be shortly) canal side outside Numa Court. The area at the rear of Nero Court will be considered next for extra projects. If you would like to be involved please contact the office and join the gardening group.
Clubroom Refurbishment
The entry times will be going to winter hours 1030am to 3.30pm when the clocks go back on Sunday 25th October (at 2am for information). The gate timer will not be changed until the following Wednesday when our electrician will be available.

• Many of you will have noticed the filming that has been taking place on the Dock. If you live in Otho or Numa Court, you may have been involved! This is the most prolonged filming that has been done on the Dock. The production is a drama for BBC3 with a working title of “Salma”. It is the story of an Asian love tale and will be on the television in early 2016. The income gained is always welcome as it can be used to enhance and improve facilities on the Estate (see below).
• Well done to Steve (lock keeper) and all those involved in the Great River Race, which raised £650 towards the RNLI.
• The lighting upgrade is nearly complete with walkway lights in Otho and Numa Court to be completed in the near future. The remaining street lights will be ordered shortly. The Dock Road lights are going to be cleaned and overcalled during the week commencing Monday 19th.
The clubroom refurbishments have now been completed. This includes a new studio room available for hire (pictured). With Wi-Fi and basic computer facilities available. This room can be hired for small events or short term office hire. The main room has new blinds and fold away tables. The floor has been deep cleaned and some tiles have been replaced. Both toilets have had a makeover with new units, polished floors and hand driers installed. To enquire about hiring these rooms please contact the office 02085685096 or [email protected]
