4 August 2018
Carnoustie St lift
Now back in operation following work to replace worn out parts.

Painting works
The painters are continuing with certain external ground level areas (weather dependent), some areas in the basement and a few other areas around the building which have been damaged by water leaks/scuff marks. The red floor paint in the car park by the main lift door and the rear Carnoustie side lift doors will also be refreshed and those lifts will have no car park access for 24 hours when work is done.

Recycling bins and rubbish disposal in car park
Due to repeated failures by the council to uplift bins on time, we have now obtained an additional 10 recycling bins which will be used when other bins are out for collection. Please only use these for recyclable items (see signs in car park) and also please note that any cardboard placed on the floor will go to landfill. 

Anything you want to be recycled needs to be crushed and put in a blue bin, or the large council blue bins on Dalintober St and Wallace Street, where glass bins are also located. To save time for the cleaners, please place any smaller items of rubbish into the red/green general waste bins and not on the floor of the car park. Any items left there have to be picked up and binned.

Issues regarding rubbish disposal and litter have been a problem for years. Anyone concerned should use the Glasgow app to report litter, fly tipping or missed collections around the building. We’re sure the council will send an immediate response.

Smoke alarms - a reminder for all owners to ensure their smoke alarms are still adequate. An updated section of guidance has been added to the general info page as follows: 
Every apartment was originally fitted with at least one mains wired smoke alarm. These are independent of the main communal fire alarm system and should be tested regularly by residents. Smoke alarms should be replaced at least every 10 years as they lose sensitivity over time. It is the owner’s responsibility to ensure this is done.
Landlords should ensure they are in compliance with the regulations in Scotland. It is the landlord’s responsibility to confirm the requirements. An extract from the Scottish Government website states that properties should have the following minimum alarms fitted (which should be mains operated and interconnected):

· at least 1 smoke alarm installed in the principal habitable room (the most frequently used room by the occupants of a dwelling for general daytime living purposes)
· at least 1 smoke alarm in every circulation space on each storey such as hallways and landings
· at least 1 smoke alarm in every access room serving an inner room
· at least 1 heat alarm installed in every kitchen.
· Where a dwelling has an open plan layout, the open plan area will also be used as a circulation space (which could include a stair and landing).
