Locksmeade Owners Ltd

The development comproses many areas of shared driveways which are owned and maintained by the company. In the past we have replaced decaying concrete areas with concrete block paving which has proved successful at improving the look of the development, while at the same time replacing worn out and broken concrete. The renovation of several of these areas was funded jointly by the LOL and adjoining residents who took the opportunity to replace their private driveways at the same time, thereby saving us all some money. Block paving lets some water through to the ground below, while at the same time providing a more attractive finish which is also repairable if there is a need to dig the area up to gain access to a broken drain, for example. This proved useful a few years ago when a newly laid area of block paving alongside 4 and 5 Thamesgate Close had to be pulled up and relayed in order to gain access to a broken drain which had caused a massive blockage affecting several other properties.

THE COMPANY AT WORK: GARDEN AREAS

Nelson Numes our gardener looks after the shrubbed boarders and grasses areas. Chris Wadsworth, one of the directors and long-tern resident, is in regular contact with Nelson to alert him to local gardening problems brought to his atttention by any resident. 

Nelson's time frame is flexible which means he can vary his hours according to the workload.

In the past couple of years now he has brought back shape to these shrubs and used the freed-up space for more interesting planting.

New Visitor parking signs have been purchased and will be put in place during 2025. The map of the development has also been updated to make location of the development's visitor parking spaces more obvious.
