Gardening & Grounds Update July 2023

This notice is to advise that your newly appointed Gardening & Grounds Contractor, MMX Garden and Property Services Ltd, undertook their first maintenance visit yesterday (11th July), their focus was Winders Road, overgrown bushes adjacent to Goulden House Approach Car Park, Inner Green Lawn, and the removal of weeds from the entire site and what a difference their work made to the site yesterday. The MMX team commented on the “thank you”, which they received from residents throughout the day regarding their work.

MMX will be back on site in two weeks’ time (their contract stipulates two visits per month in regrowth season) and their focus will be the Outer Green, Diamond Area, and all hedges.

It is wonderful to see the Grounds being returned to how they should look, and it may take a few visits to get the grounds to the standard where we wish them to be, but yesterday’s visit was a very good start.

Update on Pest Control – Tuesday 13th June 2023

This notice is to provide you with the most recent update from Pestgone (pest Control contractor), from their visit today, which is as follows:

“A routine inspection was carried out today across all areas of the premises, including all internal communal areas and landings. Eternal areas, including both Inner and Outer Greens, Communal Gardens and Bin Stores, during our increased visits to site over the past month.  We have seen a steady decrease in activity levels across the estate, this coupled with restructural and remedial work across the estate, have had a dramatic impact on the reduction of activity levels across all areas. All bait stations have been fully serviced, with bait replenished and refreshed where needed, good levels of housekeeping and hygiene standards were found during today’s inspection and staff have reported no issues since previous inspection. Bait Stations have been increased across the estate to allow greater coverage and control.  All baiting points have also had baits increased to allow full capacity monitoring. PestGone will continue to monitor on forthcoming service visits”.
