Dear Residents,
Just a quick note to let you know that there are two Council officers on site today (Mon 10th August) and tomorrow (Tue 11th August), carrying out checks on the distances between homes as part of our site licence conditions.

We wanted to make residents aware in case you see them around the park over the next couple of days.
Thank you for your understanding.
Kind regards,

Dear Residents,
We have received emails from several residents asking us to remind everyone of the following...
Road Safety – Jack King Drive
We would also like to remind all residents and their visitors to take extra care when approaching the roundabout on Jack King Drive.
We have been advised that there were a couple of near misses over the weekend, reportedly involving drivers who were either travelling too quickly or not paying sufficient attention to the road.
Please ensure you approach the roundabout with care, observe the speed limit, and remain mindful of other residents and road users.
Kind regards,
Customer Care Team
Dear Residents,
We have received emails from several residents asking us to remind everyone of the following...
Please avoid putting rubbish into the bins around the park if they are already full. Unfortunately, foxes and birds can easily pull rubbish out if the lid is not fully closed, which can result in litter being scattered across the road and surrounding areas. They have particularly noticed this with takeaway packaging.
If a bin is full, please use an alternative bin or, where possible, take your rubbish home until it can be disposed of appropriately. We would also appreciate residents reminding their carers and visitors of this as we are fully aware that it may not be residents.
Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us keep the park clean and safe for everyone.
Kind regards,
Customer Care Team
Dear Residents,
We would like to make you aware that Essex & Suffolk Water will be introducing a Temporary Use Ban (hosepipe ban), which comes into effect from 00:01 on Monday, 3 August.
As our park is supplied by Essex & Suffolk Water, these restrictions apply to all residents.
During the ban, the use of hosepipes for activities such as watering gardens, washing vehicles, cleaning patios and paths, and filling paddling or swimming pools is prohibited, unless a specific exemption applies.
You may notice members of our Maintenance Team using hosepipes/jet washers during this period. This is permitted under the Business Operations exemption. As the park operator, we are allowed to use hosepipes for commercial maintenance, health and safety requirements, and professional cleaning services that are necessary for the safe operation and upkeep of the park.
We appreciate that this may appear inconsistent, but these activities are specifically exempt from the restrictions and are essential to maintaining the park and ensuring the safety of residents and visitors.
We kindly ask all residents to comply with the hosepipe ban and help conserve water during this period. Your cooperation and understanding are greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your support.
Kind regards,
Customer Care Team
Dear Residents,
We hope you're having a wonderful summer here at Sandy Bay.
Perhaps you've had the grandchildren down for a few days, attended (or even hosted!) one too many BBQs, enjoyed a few social gatherings with neighbours, cheered on your favourite teams and athletes during the summer sporting calendar, or maybe you've simply been making the most of the pool and spending a little longer than planned at the bar lately!
Whatever your summer looks like, we genuinely hope it's been filled with great memories, good company and plenty of relaxation.
This August, we're hosting two special Open Weekend events designed to welcome prospective homeowners to Sandy Bay and give them a genuine feel for life on the resort.
These events form part of our ongoing sales and marketing programme and are specifically aimed at introducing potential new residents to the lifestyle, facilities and community that make Sandy Bay such a special place to live.
If you have friends, family members, neighbours or acquaintances who may be considering a move to Sandy Bay, we'd love you to invite them along. There is no better endorsement than hearing directly from the people who already call Sandy Bay home.
As a valued resident, you're welcome to attend, enjoy the entertainment and help us showcase the resort to prospective purchasers. Your support helps create the welcoming atmosphere that often plays a key role in someone deciding to make Sandy Bay their new home.
Don't forget, if someone you introduce goes on to purchase a home at Sandy Bay, you could also benefit from our Resident Referral Programme.

Dear Residents,
Following a number of recent concerns raised in various areas of Sandy Bay, we would like to kindly remind all dog owners of their responsibilities while walking their pets around the park.
Please ensure that you clean up after your dog and dispose of any waste in the designated dog waste bins located throughout the park.
We would also appreciate your cooperation in preventing dogs from fouling or urinating on artificial grass areas belonging to other residents. While many residents are dog owners, others are not, and it is unfair for them to have to clean up after someone else's pet.
For the safety and comfort of all residents, visitors, and our four-legged friends, dogs should be kept on a short lead at all times while walking around Sandy Bay.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in helping to keep our park clean, safe, and enjoyable for everyone.
Kind regards,
Customer Care Team
