• The fumigation of the complex against cockroaches was carried out on Tuesday 2nd August.
• We continue to chase the Ayuntamiento to replace one of the general waste bins for a recyclable waste (yellow) bin.
• The committee would like to remind all owners/tenants (particularly those who are new to La Finca) to abide by our Internal Rules and to familiarise themselves with the do´s and don´ts. A community of the size of ours can only run smoothly if all are aware of the rules and follow them. In case of doubt, please ask the Administrator. Please pay particular attention to the rules about changing the exterior of the units by installing items like clothes rails, sun-blinds, air conditioning systems, pergolas etc. If you rent out your unit please make sure that your tenant is aware of our rules.
• The committee has completed the replacement of the drain covers around the children’s play area/toilets as the current ones are damaged.
• Don’t forget to let the Administrators have your email address if you wish to receive information such as this report, minutes of meetings or other important communication electronically.
• The community has a presence on Facebook (CDAD PROP LA FINCA; a Group AND a Community), it’s own web site (www.LaFincaOnline.es) and it's own forum (https://lafinca.forumotion.com). These are used to provide the latest information regarding the community as well as providing additional means of letting us have your comments or advise us of any concerns.
