As part of our maintenance program, we installed FD30 fire doors in the ground floor bin and landlord service stores. Each door features intumescent fire seals on the frame, a fire-rated transom panel, a fire-rated D handle, three hinges, kick and push plates, and a combination lock. These solid-core doors replace hollow-core doors and will help contain the spread of flames and smoke in case of a fire.

Private landlords – Electrical Safety Standards Regulations 2020
Private landlords are responsible for ensuring the safety of their tenants. However, some fail to do so, putting their tenants in danger as a result.
The latest Regulations require landlords to have the electrical installations in their properties inspected and tested by a person who is qualified and competent, at an interval of at least every 5 years. Landlords have to provide a copy of the electrical safety report to their tenants, and to their local authority if requested.
This means that all landlords now have to make sure the electrical installations in their rented properties are safe. The Regulations came into force on 1 June 2020 to improve safety in all residential premises and particularly in the private rented sector.

BBQs
We remind everyone that BBQs are NOT PERMITTED on balconies, patios or anywhere on the grounds. This is due to the high fire risk in this type of environment. You will be in breach of your lease. Thank you for your support.
Parking at Malting Mead
Following the recent AGM, we have been asked to remind everyone of the parking regulations at Malting Mead.
The ten marked open bays on Endymion Road are for resident and visitor parking. The six undercroft bays are private and assigned to individual flats and are to be kept clear at all times. The overflow parking in the gated garage area is for resident parking. No parking of trailers or caravans. Untaxed, un-roadworthy, abandoned or unauthorised vehicles may be removed at the owner’s cost.
It was voted and approved at the recent AGM that commercial vehicles can no longer park in the gated garage area.
You can park on Endymion Road, however, single yellow line restrictions operate from 8am to 10am Monday to Friday. The authorities patrol daily.
Ball games
Ball games are not permitted in the front garden at Malting Mead. This decision was taken after recent disturbance to residents in block 2 and damage to plants as a result of ball games. We’re not discouraging children from playing outside in the back gardens and away from the buildings. We ask that parents supervise their children when playing outside.
