Zoals verscheidene eigenaars bewust zijn geworden van de Basura Skip achter Los Amigos is overspoeld met Vliegen en ook onaangename geuren,,en,We hebben de Bar opdracht niet te plaatsen geen vuilniszakken van voedselafval in de Basura overslaan totdat het is te wijten aan worden geleegd,,en,En ze zijn blij om te voldoen aan deze,,en,Dit zal hopelijk de problemen helpen,,en,Nu al hebben we merkten dat mensen die verblijven in de eigenschappen ontdoen van voedselafval los in de Skip,,en,Eigenaren moeten aandringen op hun bezoekers veilig afbinden elke zakken voordat zij beschikken over de zakken,,en,Dit zou de normale praktijk,,en,Momenteel zijn er,,en,boilers in de skip plus een bedrag van tuin debri,,en,Deze gegevens mogen niet worden gedeponeerd bij het huisvuil skip,,en,Als we op de hoogte eigenaars,,en. We have instructed the Bar not to place any bin bags of food waste into the Basura Skip until it is due to be emptied. And they are happy to comply with this. This hopefully will help the problems.

Already we have noticed people staying in the properties discarding food waste loose into the Skip. Owners should insist on their Visitors securely tying off any bags before they dispose of the bags. This should be normal practice.

Currently there are 2 water heaters in the skip plus an amount of garden debri. These items should not be deposited in the household rubbish skip.

As we informed owners, het stadhuis heeft besloten om de levering van gratis laadbakken voor tuinafval blijven,,en,De kosten van de gemeenschap leveren slaat van een particuliere onderneming zal worden circa 2.500 € per jaar,,en,nd november,,en,Luis heeft verschillende onderzoeken gedaan naar het stadhuis ref Laadbakken voor tuinafval,,en,Vandaag op een bijeenkomst in het stadhuis werd besloten niet te blijven leveren gratis springt naar Garden stekken en Boom snoeihout verzamelen,,en,Dit bespaarde de Gemeenschap ongeveer 110 € per Skip die in de toekomst wil zeggen,,en,vanaf nu zullen we moeten betalen voor containers ref tuinafval,,en. The cost of the community supplying skips from a private company will be approx 2.500€ per year.

Luis has made several enquiries to the Town Hall ref Skips for Garden refuse. Today at a meeting in the Town Hall it was decided not to continue supplying free skips to collect Garden cuttings and Tree prunings.
This saved the Community approx 110€ per Skip which in future i.e. from today we will have to pay for containers ref Garden Rubbish.

According to information received we should not have to treat the Palm Trees for Red Weevil again. The authorities have stated that the Island is now “Weevil Free”. 200,000 Trees were treated and 659 taken down since 2005.

Car Parking

For owners information, all car parking spaces on the road are there for any owner to park. There are no Private Parking Spaces. No owner has a private parking space on the Roadside Parking Area anywhere on the Complex.

Bollards

Between 106B and 107 a Bollard was fitted to prevent builders trucks and cars from blocking the Pathway and thus preventing disabled buggies and pushchairs from access.

This has been working perfectly well until this week, when the Bollard was stolen. Another Bollard was fitted as a replacement and that was stolen within 24 hours. The incidents are being reported to the Police.

Thanks

Many owners have had a demand from the Ayuntamiento (Town Hall) for 60€ delivered to Reception. My current understanding is that this relates to properties that have had unregistered extensions built after initial construction. We believe this is an initial charge prior to an increase in the annual IBI bill for the affected properties. It is possible there may be further action regarding re-registration of affected properties but this has not been confirmed as yet.

Sun Beds

First can I just thank Stephen for replying to a post on Trip Advisor about our sun beds, clarifying that they are for the use of Owners and their guests.

Although we have reported this many times before, sadly sun beds around both pools are still being reserved with towels etc. This is not acceptable and can cause unpleasant situations particularly during the busy periods. Any beds seemingly ‘reserved’ with towels or other items may have them removed at the owners risk. We are also considering employing a Pool Guard once again to ensure this practice does not continue. Will all owners please ensure that their guests and visitors are fully aware of this, thank you.

As some owners have experienced, we have had issues with the English TV channels due to interference from recently added Spanish freeview channels. We have changed the frequencies now, and this appears to be generally working well. Should you still have problems your TV may need re-tuning to the new frequency. Please see previous blog.

New Cat 5 Cables will be installed to the Ts and Vs side of the Road soon. This is in the plan for this year. Earlier in the year we gave renewing water mains pipes and supply pipes priority over TV Cable renewal.

The negotiations for increased payment for Maintenance Staff began in July. The increase was 100€ per month per Employee. We have continued our search for the last wage rise for the Staff and we believe it was a 7% increase in 1994.

TV Re-tuning,,en,Velen van jullie zullen ervaren problemen met de ontvangst van het Engels kanalen op uw tv-toestel,,en,Dit is een gevolg van de Spaanse omroepen het toevoegen van extra digitale kanalen in de afgelopen week of zo,,en,Deze extra kanalen worden met behulp van een frequentie die we gebruiken voor onze Engels kanalen en als zodanig hebben veroorzaakt interferentie,,en,We hadden gepland om onze kanalen in september verhuizen naar vooruitlopen op deze,,en,en geef ons meer ruimte weg van de Spaanse zenders,,en,maar helaas is dit moet worden gedaan nu,,en,We zullen beginnen met de frequentie verandert vandaag,,en,en Hedley Smith is zo vriendelijk om dit te doen,,en,Dit zal betekenen dat uw TV zal opnieuw moeten worden afgestemd op te halen de nieuwe frequenties,,en,Dit is dezelfde procedure die we doen in het Verenigd Koninkrijk als extra kanalen worden toegevoegd,,en

Many of you will be experiencing problems with receiving the English channels on your TV set. This is a result of the Spanish broadcasters adding additional Freeview channels over the last week or so. These additional channels are using a frequency that we use for our English channels and as such have caused interference. We had planned to move our channels in September to pre-empt this, and give ourselves more space away from the Spanish Channels, but unfortunately this has to be done now. We will be commencing with the frequency changes today, and Hedley Smith has kindly agreed to do this. This will mean that your TV will need to be re-tuned to pick up the new frequencies. This is the same procedure that we do in the UK when additional channels are added, met behulp van de menu-functie op uw TV-afstandsbediening,,en,en het vinden van auto-tune,,en,re-tune of auto setup,,en,Het hele proces duurt een paar minuten, terwijl de TV zoekt naar de nieuwe frequenties,,en,Als u uw tv,,en,zult u de eenvoudige procedure in daar vinden,,en,Ik heb ook nog een link naar een korte video die zal helpen uitleggen hoe makkelijk het is om re-tune,,en,Voor degenen die moeite hebben,,en,Hedley Smith op No.203 zal helpen met de re-tune,,en,maar als er andere bestaande problemen met de signaalsterkte,,en,kabelproblemen,,en,enz,,en,die moeten worden behandeld door onze kabel guy Alex tel,,en,Als u in staat om opnieuw af te stemmen jezelf,,en,maar beschikken niet over een handmatige,,en,of gewoon vereisen een weinig steun,,en,dan e-mail Julian bij,,en,webmaster@playabastian.com,,en,Hij kan dan regelen om u telefonisch contact opnemen met,,en,of de bron een handleiding voor u,,en, and finding auto tune, re-tune or auto setup. The whole process takes a couple of minutes while the TV searches for the new frequencies.

If you have your TV manual, you will find the simple procedure in there. I have also added a link below to a short video which will help explain how easy it is to re-tune.

For those who experience difficulty, Hedley Smith at No.203 will help with the re-tune, but if there are other existing issues with the signal strength, cable problems,etc, that will need to be dealt with by our cable guy Alex tel: 0034 638 907 845
