Please do not allow your dogs to urinate and foul on the fourth-floor walkway and this also includes the lifts. It is your responsibility as the dog owner to clean up after your dog, it is what responsible dog owners do.

There has been an unacceptable increase in the number of incidents, and it is unnecessary and unpleasant for all concerned. The Estate Office has received numerous calls and emails from very concerned residents and all the details have been passed to Wandsworth Borough Council.

This issue is currently being monitored by the Estate Office Staff and via CCTV and weekly detailed briefings are being provided to the Animal Welfare Officers at Wandsworth Borough Council and all future clean-up costs will be applied to the respective dog owner(s), via the Goulden House Co-Operative Ltd Recharge Policy.  

Notice:Notice to Residents – Dogs Notice – 2023

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

“A routine inspection was carried out today across all areas of the premises including 4th floor internal communal areas bin stores risers and external areas with evidence of Rat activity found primarily towards entrance to 109 works are currently being carried out to block off and replace all sunken foot paths around this area to prevent further egress. 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, staff have reported no issues since previous inspection all insect monitoring points have been inspected and show no signs of any recent or ongoing pest activity. PestGone will continue to monitor on forthcoming service visits”.

I can also advise that we have increased the Bait Boxes on site and Pestgone’s visits have been increased by two additional visits to site per week, the latter to ensure that we stay on top of this issue.

URGENT NOTICE TO RESIDENTS

Cigarette ends being thrown from balcony above into gardens of Flats on Ground Floor

We have been advised that cigarette ends are being thrown, yet again, from the balcony of flats above into the gardens of the ground floor Flats and onto the roofs of their garden sheds.

This is a serious breach of Health, Safety, Fire & Smoke Regulations. Please dispose of your cigarette ends responsibly. Please note that children are playing in the gardens below and it was only last year that we had a balcony fire which was very severe, and the occupants of the flat in question, were very fortunate that they did not sustain any injuries.

Should you require any additional information or if you have information on whom the person or persons are who are non-compliant with the Health, Safety, Fire and Smoke Regulations then please do not hesitate to call the Estate Office on 0207 924 5213 or via email [email protected]. We shall check CCTV and if the flat in question is identified, costs for any repairs for the most recent damage caused by the discarding of cigarette ends, will be recharged to the flat in question in compliance with the Goulden House Co-operative Ltd Recharge Policy.

Notice: Notice re disposal of cigarette ends – 16.5.23

As a result of previous increase in rodent activity, we increased the bait boxes across the site.  As a result of further resident concerns, Pestgone (our Pest Control Contractor), has placed additional bait boxes around the inner green and other areas of the site today, 15th May.

In addition to the above, we have also undertaken the sealing of many pipes around the site.  We have a contractor attending the site on Wednesday, 17th May, to survey one of the smaller enclosed communal gardens as potentially an underground pipe may have collapsed, thus causing an increase in rodent activity.

Please be assured that this is red flagged by the Estate Office until such time it has been brought to its rightful conclusion.
