RAMPOA Trustees Meeting	30 November 2009
At the RAMPOA Trustees on 30 November, the following office-bearers were elected:   Tony Heath - Chairperson   Niel van Wyk - Vice-chairperson   Andrew Mills - Member of Exco   John Markland - Member of Exco
The Trustees Committee has 28 members - the membership is detailed on the RAMPOA page; click here to view. Unfortunately very few people attend these meeting where issues important to all of us are discussed. It is also usually the non-attendees who complain most about things in Royal Ascot; if they attended the meetings they would be better informed about issues and would most times have no reason to complain.
Recycling Initiative for Royal Ascot	10 November 2009
At the RAMPOA meeting on 31 August it was unanimously agreed that we apply to the City to introduce their free ThinkTwice recycling initiative to Royal Ascot.
We have now been informed that for various reasons this will not be possible in the near future. The Solid Waste Management Department is keen to expand the programme, but there are various logistical reasons, some beyond their control, that presents difficulties.
Residents can assist by making sure that our public representatives - our Councillors, and Members of Parliament for the Province and the National Assembly - are kept aware of our support for the expansion of sustainable recycling programmes.

Landscaping programme	14 September 2009
Please note that from this week onwards the landscaping contractors will start a programme of replacing certain plants in the public areas along Parade Ring Road
While most of the plantings are doing well, there are some areas where plants have not taken so well. There are a number of reasons for this, it could be the soil, aspect, drainage or simply just that certain plants do not do as well as expected here.
While this is going on there will be some bare patches in the landscaping as we will be planting in plants that have proven to do well in Royal Ascot. In due course these will grow and the bare patches will eventually disappear.
Outdoor Signage Regulations	1 September 2009
At the meeting of the Trustees committee on Monday 31 August, outdoor signage regulations were approved unanimously. These regulations supplement the City's Outdoor Signage By-Law No 10518 of 5 December 2001, and have been approved by the relevant officials in the City.
The objective of the regulations is to protect our expensive irrigation system from harm and to prevent rows of unsightly estate agent boards being placed on the outer walls of residential precincts. The outer side of the walls and fences (the side facing the street), is not part of the inside property, but is part of the common property of the precinct.
