TV System Update

After many years of broadcasting the satellite from which we pick up our UK television signal has finally been switched off /decommissioned. This is something we had no knowledge of until it happened last Friday.

Therefore there are currently no UK television channels available on the complex.

We hope to be providing BBC World news and Sky News in the next day or two as a partial solution.

This affects the whole of the Playa Bastian complex and not just Zone D. 

We are investigating possible alternative systems across the whole complex. However, this may take a month or two to resolve as there are technical, financial and logistical issues to contend with.

TV system
It seems that the satellite providing the signal for the community TV has failed. This problem affects all zones and is not limited to zone D.
The problem is being investigated to try and find a solution but at this time we have no indication when the service will be reinstated.
We will update when we have more information

Site Electical Fault

We have a major electrical fault on the complex with the incoming supply to the bottom pool. This circuit also supplies the TV/internet room so until the problem is fixed we also have no community internet or TV.

Unable to give a timescale for resolution but electricians on site investigating.

Thefts on the complex

Please be aware that we have had a small number of thefts from terraces in the past few days. The thefts have included clothing, towels and now an electric bicycle.

We re-iterate the request that you do not leave valuables on your terrace when unattended at any time. We know there are thieves about and ask all owners and their guests to be vigilant at all times.

In the event that you are a victim of such crimes please inform Maribel in reception and report to the police without delay.

Your Playa Bastian committee

We are very sad to announce that Linda Lamb passed away on the 5th February 2024.

As the Playa Bastian community we will remember Linda with great fondness and send our condolences to her husband Ced and her family and friends.

Notice of AGM 2024

Everyone should have recently received a letter by email, regarding the forthcoming Zone D AGM, which will take place on Saturday 16th March 2024, starting at 9.00am. The venue will be announced later.

If you have not received it, the letter is available on the Official Notices page of the website.

Any items that you would like to be discussed at the AGM must be notified to the President by Wednesday 32st January 2024.

Thanks

Finca/Plot Numbers

Every Property Owner should have received an email last week, sent out by Yolanda, asking for the Finca/Plot number of their property.

We are processing the request for a new book of Minutes, as the old one has expired, and we require the Finca/Plot number of each property in Zone D. We need every property to supply this information before we can move on with the process.

We would be grateful if you would give this matter your urgent attention if you have not done so already. The number required will be in your escritura and is a five digit number.

Thank you for your help

The Board would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Fumigation

A number of people have commented that there are a lot of Cockroaches around at the moment

Going forward, the Fumigation company that we use, will visit every 3 months and fumigate the common parts only. All future fumigation of private dwellings will be at the owners cost, and will need to be arranged through Reception. The approximate cost will be around €75,00. The Company cannot guarantee to visit at a specific time of day, so if the Owner is not going to be present, they can leave a key at Reception, and Maribel will arrange.

If this is not acceptable to the Owner, then they must make their own arrangements for fumigation.

The next fumigation will be done in mid January. The exact date will be known the first week in January

IMPORTANT – Properties that are to be fumigated must be left empty for 12 hours due to the chemicals being used.

Thanks

Pool Times

We have recently had Owners/Guests using the lower pool at 10.00pm,disturbing Residents who live near the pool. Can we remind Owners of the Pool opening times, which are 9.00am to 9.00pm.

Every Owner should have a laminated copy of the ‘Playa Bastian Zone D Community Rules’ in their property, which was handed out last year. On it, amongst other things, are the rules for the swimming pools, and we ask that Owners ensure that their Guests are made aware of this.

There is a copy of this on the Official Notices page of the website, and we have also attached a copy of the Community Rules below.

Thanks
