Brentford Dock Singers Summer Concert, Saturday 11th July in the Clubroom at 8pm.
MUSIC FOR EVERYONE “From the Sublime to the Ridiculous” Put the date in your
diary.
Boring but important, Health and Safety is easy to ignore and it is simple
to think it has “nothing to do with me!” But Health and Safety is the
responsibility of every one. As residents you are the ‘eyes and ears’ of the
Dock, you will see things that are not ‘safe’. If in any doubt please contact
the Office and we will investigate. managementoffice@brentford-

What's happening on the Dock
• The official Brentford Dock website is brentforddock.com Please contact the
office for access to the shareholders section.
• Work has started on the Residents’ clubroom refurbishment.
• Block redecorations continue, if you are in Numa, Romulus or Galba Court and
have not had your front door painted yet please contact the office urgently, so
we can make arrangements.
• The work outside Otho Court has resumed and the contractors now believe
they have found a solution to the problem, so fingers crossed.
• Shareholders, if you are letting your property, or are considering doing so,
make sure that the lettings agents that you employ to manage your property
are members of all the necessary Trade Associations and comply with all
Government regulations. Apparently some of your fellow Shareholders have
had problems with agents and correcting any difficulties can proved very
expensive.
Hounslow Parking enforcement
Food Waste Bins
The LBH food bins are now situated around the
Dock. You should all have had a letter from the
Council explaining what will happen next. You
will be having a small food caddy and
compostable bags delivered. Please DO NOT use
the bins yet, wait until the Council say they will
be starting collections. This picture was taken of
one of our bins with food being put in it already,
in plastic bags. Don’t use plastic bags only
compostable/biodegradable bags can be used.
Syon Park
If you want to take advantage of the Syon Park Dock
Gate, again this year please submit your application as
soon as possible. If you are not renewing please return
swipe cards to the Management Office as they can be
reprogrammed.
Residents’ Comments / Housekeeping Issues
LBH are enforcing parking on their part of the Dock issuing tickets for
yellow line and pavement contraventions . Last week they also removed a
van that was on the Augustus Close pavement. We have no control over
these tickets, so park with care. We have also had two new yellow boxes
painted, one at the top of Dock Road ramp and the other next to the
green house. These are to protect essential access and we will issue
tickets to vehicles left in thee areas.

 Again a request not to leave rubbish outside front doors, or next to the bin
chutes even for short periods. Last week on 3 occasions cleaners had to clear up
bin liners that had been ripped open by animals and the contents spread around.
 Dog - owners please don’t allow your pets to urinate on the walkways. It’s not
the cleaners job to clean up after your pet!
 Please don’t addressed your parcel's to ‘the security office’, if we do not know
who they are for, security will not accept them.
 The bin chutes on the Dock are standard for this type of development, but with
all mechanical things, care is needed when using them. Please don’t let your
children use them.
