I've noticed on one of the posts (can't recall which) a reference to the fact that the bins have been resited to 'near the aparthotel'. Can anyone tell me exactly where they have been resited?

Thanks

I too agree with the proposals/sugggestions to extend the ground floor terraces for 2 reasons;

1. Having been victim to one break-in where luckily only money was taken this was followed by a second attempted break-in whilst our guests where asleep in bed - I am extremely concerned about the security on this site. We had electric patio shutters and a PVC utility enclosure but the thieves were undeterred. Whilst enclosing the terraces will not prevent burglaries they will act as a deterrant;

- it will be much more difficult to access the apartments via the terrace and also to make 'a run for it' having to jump down several feet into the foliage

- the burglars will no longer be able to walk across the communal areas searching out their next 'job'

2. Both ourselves, our guests and many other owners and visitors we have seen are already using these communal terraces as sunbathing areas simply by placing their sun loungers over the fence - I can see that when the site is fully in use this will look unsightly - surely it would make more sense to get some money into the community (as there are enough projects to spend it on) whilst ensuring some conformity to the look of the development.

I was not aware that there had been thefts by people letting themselves in with keys through the front door - all of the thefts I have heard about have been forced entries - does this mean there has been more?

We were a ground floor apartment but thought that our security was sufficient - at least it prevented access although it didn't deter them. At least nobody was hurt.

When we were out in July we were aware of a break-in in block 25 (I think) the property was occupied and passports and money taken.

There have been another 4 since then that I have heard of plus our own - occupied apartments in all cases with money, phones, passports, phones the target.

As some of you will be aware there have been several break-ins over the past few weeks with 3 over the week-end. Unfortunately we were the latest victim today when thieves attempted to prise open our electric patio shutters whilst our guests were in bed at around 6.00am this morning.

Luckily they were either disturbed or gave up - we had thought we had a very secure apartment with electric patio shutters (which were closed as were the bedroom shutters at the time) and having enclosed the utility area cleary these are no deterrent.

On investigation it looks like the lock on the patio windows has also been tampered with so this looks like an attempt may have been made to break-in on another occasion.

Please make sure your apartments are secure - at least they didn't get into ours this time and nothing has been taken but our guests are shaken, as are we.

Security needs to be addressed - of all the problems on the site security is paramount.

When notified of the situation we immediately called Steve Garrot at Paintbusters who has helped us with the installation of the patio shutters and UPVC utility enclosure. He has been invaluable to us and went round to the apartment within an hour and assessed the extent of the problem, reassured our guests and got the repairs sorted within 3 hours - this was first class service and we are very grateful to him.
