New Parking Tickets -
Further to the last Newsletter - the new parking regime issues instant tickets which are sent via a mobile phone to the enforcement company. We no longer have a
Residents’ Comments / Housekeeping Issues AGM reminder – Thursday 26th January, starting at 8pm – in the Clubroom as usual. Management Surgeries: Monday 9th & Wednesday 11th January 4-7pm please make an appointment using the form supplied in your AGM information bundle.
Dock Shareholders AGM
• Christmas Parcels – the count down to the festive season is getting quicker,
please collect items promptly and no large/bulky or heavy items. Parcels
addressed to “Security Office” will also be returned. • Pathway treatment – During the next month the cleaners will be treating the
external pathways with Soda Crystals to prevent moss. This is harmless and looks like salt has been spread, but it is probably better not to tread it into carpets.
• DIY reminder – please remember that noisy DIY in flats or contractors working is only permitted Monday to Friday (excluding Public Holidays) between the hours of 0900 and 1800.
paper ticket which is not processed for a couple of days: THE PENALTY IS ISSUED IMMEDIATELY
Our Security Officers will place a notice on the vehicle informing offenders that they have received a ticket and when it was issued (picture left). If you do not have a valid up to date permit and park in any private parts of
the Dock, you risk receiving a ticket and a penalty.
Please ensure that any visitors to the Dock are aware and display a Visitors Parking Permit (correctly dated) and that they don’t park in private bays.
Parking tickets are issued for the benefit of all residents to manage parking on the Dock. As stated last month this is NOT a revenue source and Security will only use tickets as a last resort. Fixed penalties are £100 fine, reduced to £60 with prompt
payment. Don’t let a parking ticket spoil your festive season!
Syon Park gardens will be open during the Christmas period, but the Conservatory and the Duke’s Woods will not be accessible.
Following an incident during the weekend please remember that dogs (other than assistance dogs) are not permitted into the gardens under any circumstances. This is part of the conditions of use for all Dock pass holders.
