Shower Blocks

At the AGM in September 2006 it was proposed to close ALL the shower blocks permanently.
This proposal was accepted in a vote by the vast majority of owners attending.
It was noted that all owners had been given 10 years to install their own facilities and that this period had now expired. All the shower blocks have now been closed, except blocks 3 and 10.
I will explain what is happening to these two blocks in another posting.

Pat Olive, committee member, suggested, and it was accepted that the closed shower blocks should be stripped out and converted into storage lock ups, for the use of owners.
Each shower block is to be converted into four storage units, and any owner may rent one for an annual fee of 200 Euro. These units are for storage only, and not supplied with water or electricity.

The conversion work is very simple, involving only the building of two internal block walls, and the cutting out and installation of two metal doors. Mi Sol is NOT paying to have this work done. The tenants sharing a block are responsible for having the conversion work carried out, Mi Sol will reimburse them by allowing a rent free period to cover the cost. The rental charge will be added to each tenants community charge, rather than issuing a separate bill. This will make collecting any debt which might accrue easier to collect through the courts should that ever be necessary. Before long each shower block will be contributing a positive income to the community of 800 Euro per year, instead of the huge drain (pardon the pun) they have in the past been to the community.

There has been a very good response so far, many of the units have already been let. A few still remain empty. Any owner wishing rent one of these units should put their name down on the sheet in the office. They are let on a "first come - first served" basis.
