So a new spring is here and a new summer just around the corner. It’s always so exciting to embrace another long hot summer in our gardens (as long and as hot as Scotland will allow!)
And with that “new” comes our newsletter! So much has happened over the autumn and winter. A new committee brings new ideas, building on the good works of the hard-working volunteers gone by.
The committee have now hand delivered the printed Spring/ Summer 22 newsletters to all households. We hope that you find it useful, and easy to keep handy so that you can easily access some of the new channels of communication.
If you need a digital copy just pop over to the newsletter page to view or download.
The first newsletter truly covers all of the bases. Garden maintenance and development at its core of course. And also a considerable effort around improving safety, security and access to the gardens. These, as always, the most important aspects of our garden upkeep.
All major AGM 21/22 actions are also being progressed, including the south perimeter fence, guidance for dogs in the gardens and improving resident communication and consultation.
The committee has also looked deeply into the governance, assurance and management of the association, and an action plan agreed to ensure that we are fully compliant with the Title Deeds that we all are obligated to follow. Thankfully nothing too onerous, just important to ensure that it is transparently in place.
Association engagement is a key priority beyond upkeep, safety and security of our gardens, and so we are launching many new channels of communication among Association members.
We now have a new focal website here at crown.garden
We also now have social media channels on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, to bring the garden news to where you are.
And soon also we will have a solidly dependable notice board in the heart of our gardens.
Taken together, the hope is that everyone will feel able to easily keep up-to-date with garden news, feel consulted on major changes, and have a place to chat to committee members on things that mean the most to them for their gardens.
And of course we hope that many residents will be able to join together in the gardens on 20th August to enjoy our annual summer BBQ.
