All change for entry to Formosa!

Due to a software upgrade on the programming system for our Garden fobs we will be carrying out a fob change in March*.

It’ll be a two-part process: on the 4th & 5th you should drop off your existing fob in an envelope marked Formosa Amenity at either 151 Sutherland Avenue or 2 or 26 Castellain Road between the hours of 11 am & 4 pm. Please also include your name, address, phone number & email address. Then on 6th March you will be able to collect your re-coded fob at St Saviour's Church on Warrington Crescent between 2 pm & 6.30 pm. The whole procedure will take only about five minutes.

Make sure you also bring a photo ID & proof of residency on the Garden (e.g. utility or Council tax bill). There is no charge for re-coding but you will be asked to agree & sign up to the up-dated Garden rules.

If you are new to the Garden up to two fobs can be purchased per property and the £50 will be refunded when the key fob is returned. If you lose your fob the replacement fee is also £50.

If you’re unable to drop off or collect your key fob on the given dates please make an appointment to come to the offices of our managing agents, Westbourne Management, at 9 Spring Street, London W2 3RA (close to Paddington station). They are open between the hours of 9 am & 5.30 pm Monday to Friday & can be contacted at info@wb19.co.uk.

* Please note this will apply only to residents of 2-32 Castellain Road (EXCLUDING Katherine Court), 139—193 Sutherland Avenue & 4—62 Warrington Crescent.

Formosa to celebrate the Coronation Weekend

We are planning a community lunch in the Garden on Sunday May 7th as a part of nationwide proposals for a Coronation Big Lunch to mark the King’s coronation the previous day. Keep an eye on this website & other comms for further details. And one other date now confirmed in the social calendar -- our wine-tasting this year will be on Saturday June 17th!

Garden Works in Pipeline

Many of you will have noticed that during heavy rains water is still collecting in a small area along Warrington Crescent. Work will begin on January 23rd to increase the drainage at the Formosa end of the garden and install a new soak-away channel to drain rainwater from the path outside house numbers 12-14. This work is expected to take five or six days.

Then towards the end of February we will be carrying out the annual pollarding of all the trees around the perimeter of the Garden. As previously the bark will be re-cycled, and chips placed on the paths between the beds.
