The Doors to the Gardeners room have finally expired and have been replaced with a pair of Aluminium doors.

2 new lights are being supplied and fitted around the middle pool as this has proved to need extra lighting and at any time the Pool lights were not working.

Picon has been delivered and is currently being spread on the gardens.

Alexis has planned in the Palm Tree pruning and will commence asap.

The Pumping Station in front of the Coronas Playa Hotel was overwhelmed by approx 10″ or 250mm of rain during the recent deluge. This caused severe flooding to zone D’s drainage system and resulted in blockages and drain covers lifting off. Currently this has all been cleared up and hopefully the rain forecast for the 28.11.14 will not bring a repeat of the situation.

As previously reported, replacing old lighting cables are causing problems with cables concreted in and new runs being laid in new ducts.

We have now continued to replace the old street light cable. On the first run we found the lighting manhole has been covered in six inches of Concrete and the cables concreted in. This unfortunately costs time and money and obviously we have to re route new cable.

We are currently rewiring the swimming pool lights to both pools as the wiring is faulty. Partly through water getting into the cable.

We also intend to install 2 street lights to Pool no.2 i.e. HPB side, as this area is dark especially when the pool lights are out.

Extra Sun Bed covers have been ordered to replace worn bed covers.

I have noticed one or two plants suffering with what appears to be possible Bleach going by the smell. Please be careful should you wash your terrace with a bleach NOT to throw the water around the Plants.

We have turned on the Heat Pumps to both Pools.

Currently 50% of the complexes Hibiscus have to be treated for the mealy bug/whitefly. Where the owners are requesting removal of the Hibiscus this is being carried out.

The three speed bumps fitted to the main road are working well.

Luis has returned from Holiday so normal service has resumed.

Hedley Smith is retuning TVs on an almost daily basis now. I trust you all appreciate his efforts.

Unfortunately we still have issues with Canal Gestian although currently the system is working okay.

We are still dealing with the infestation on the Hibiscus. The experts advise is to spray every fifteen days and two days later wash off the plants. It takes several days to complete this task and is obviously so labour intensive that we cannot keep up with other gardening work.

The only way to achieve a successful resolution to the problem is to employ a fourth person on a temporary basis to carry out the required work on the Hibiscus and to release the gardeners for their normal work.

Where owners have requested we have removed Hibiscus that are affected by the infestation.

We have recently replaced old coaxial cable in 2 areas where they had suffered degradation owing to exposure to the sun.

The sleeping policemen appear to be having the desired affect.
