Notes from the Channels Residents Meeting 28 January 2021

Introductions & Purpose of the Meeting

Welcome to the first Channels Residents meeting for the Site Wide Management of the Channels Estate We had hoped to be able to do this personally but I’m pleased that at least we can at least do this virtually.

Just as an initial note – we are discussing here specifically the site wide area and the wider Channels Estate – as I will explain in a moment, this does not include the Developer areas which are managed by the developers themselves who you bought your homes from and their Residents Management Company – so for example:

Bellway Residents = Channels (Chelmsford) Management Co Ltd for CCMC Croudace = The Lanes (Chelmsford) Management Co Ltd
Home Group residents Home Group themselves

Those management companies – which for short we call “Res ManCos” have asked me to make clear that I cannot speak for them and their responsibilities...

And on one other house keeping note – please do email in to residents@channelscic.co.uk with your name and address to register so that you can get newsletters and emails directly in future.

Lastly, in terms of format as we are on zoom we will bring up a few slides on the screen to illustrate what we are talking about – I hope that you can see these –

We have already received a number of questions prior to conducting the meeting which we will deal with later

If anyone has specific questions as we run through the agenda items please use the chat function at the bottom of the screen to type them in and we will do our best to respond to them in the Q&A section at the end.
