    Maintenance fees have remained the same for 8 years and given the work needed in the coming years it was proposed to increase them to £90.00 per month. The increase will start from 1st June to give everyone time to change their direct debits.

    Paul Luck reported that there will be several major jobs to be done in the next few years on an ageing estate. The priorities for 2026 are to tarmac the remaining footpaths that need repair. The bridge will require extensive and costly work over the next 5-10 years.
  9. AOB
    On behalf of the social committee Gail Thurley announced there would be an event on 20th June at the Point. A poster will be put on the notice board.
    A ballot had been requested regarding the brown paint finish on doors and windows of dwellings that is standard on the estate. The results of the ballot were that of the 60 properties on the estate, 44 completed and returned voting slips. Of the 44 voting slips returned, 35 were in favour of retaining the brown finish on doors and windows. The remaining 9 voting slips were in favour of allowing other colour choices. This means that 79% of responses were in favour of retaining the brown finish, with 21% being in favour of other colours. Even allowing for the 16 property owners who did not return a voting paper, 58% of the total number of properties were in favour of retaining the brown finish on doors and windows.
    There being no further business the meeting was closed at 20:20.
