New Faces of Security
The security of London Yard should now be both more visible and more effective. Not the Weakest Link
Christine Inglis, our vivacious Chairman, of the Management Company, competed on the BBC2 quiz game "The Weakest Link" recently. By anyone's standards Christine did well to only lose by a tiebreak at the end of the programme. Viewers found out Christine's age [a lady's age is a secret - Ed] and that her partner is called "Dan the Man" and he was a "Banker (with a B)". Click for Christine's account of the experience

A Bridge to Tar
Ricky Lewis and his gang recently did a great job of painting the bridge and the other wooden constructions around the pond.
With the demise of ITV Digital, it would not be wise for residents to rush to install Sky satellite dishes. Apart from being contrary to the provisions of the leases of Yarder properties, the management company are likely to bring forward proposals for communal dishes in the next few weeks. Hold off for the time being. CCTV Confusion Last month Londonyard.com reported that proposals for CCTV had been received from a number of potential suppliers. Rumour has it, however, that none included the major cost of cabling them to the Security Hut or other central recording point. This will probably delay any decision by a few months. Hot on the Beach

The
Management Company has hired a new security company, Alamo Security
Services Ltd based in Stratford. The guards, who will share the task of
keeping Yarders safe will be Augustine Gachi (left)
and Glen Williams (right). Actually, Glen
started work at London Yard a few weeks ago for the previous security
company. He proved so popular that Jonathan
Channing asked Alamo to take him on.
