Hester Newsletter 23 March

As is common place, some residents have different clauses in their individual contracts and therefore may have the responsibility for servicing their apartment’s air conditioner. Concerning the imminent servicing of the air conditioners later this week, as a one off, the cost of servicing all the apartment air conditioners will be covered by BASScare.
Some of the key safes at Hester Canterbury are not operational because the 4 digit codes are not available. Please let Alexia know your code number for your apartment and this information will be kept confidentially and securely in case it is needed for future reference, as can be the case when apartments are vacated.
In the near future some of the floor boards in the courtyard will be lifted and removed so further maintenance work can be carried out at this location. Please be careful when traversing this area until the boards are replaced.

Week Two of the Autumn Menu starts on Monday 28 March.
Please place any orders by lunchtime the Thursday before.
Bon Appetit!
