Since reporting on the street lighting issues in the Autumn newsletter the situation has unfortunately deteriorated further. We have found additional cables that have failed because of damage from long term water immersion in the macrons ( the underground pipes which carry the cables). This has caused problems with the lights down the main road to the gate and along the side road behind 200.

The electrician along with the help of Hedley (203) is managing  temporary solutions, but these cables will also need replacing as part of the  refurbishment of the lighting system.

Fungus /White Fly

We have made contact with an expert regarding the current problem with the Plants.  We are using the correct chemicals for the problem.  The only additional treatment is to hose down the plants after treating with chemicals, which we will now implement.

We are currently repairing the Fence damaged near Casa J by persons unknown.  This Fence is generally in a poor state and will require further work in the near future.

We are continuing to upgrade street light cable and have now completed another section.  This work will continue while the problem persists.

Hi

We have now repainted the Promenade Gate area,  including the walls and gate, after the keypad damage.  The Gate Closer has unfortunately been vandalised again and will be replaced with a stronger closure.

We are spraying the plants and bushes again for fungus as the Island still has the fungal problem.

We have now spoken with Canal Gestion, the new water company, and hopefully improved the water pressure to the gardens.  We appreciate the positive messages we have received regarding the way plants are growing with the new system.

All the Team are now back at work after the Summer Holidays.
