QUESTIONS

SOME ANSWERS (LINK)

Morning Roger,
This is just a quick e-mail to say thankyou for the welcome pack. We have moved into Cambourne just over a month ago.
I was wondering if you could point me in the right direction on the following questions:
Who do I need to contact about Street lighting where I am living (there is none currently) ?
Do new houses normally have an Aerial installed in the roof ? (Mine is a Bovis Home)
How long do the developers have to sort out the Snag list ?
Is Lower Cambourne allowed Satellite dishes as there is no ADSL or Cable installed in the area ? (Loads of houses currently have it installed)
Sorry if you are the wrong person to ask.
Thanks again

I will do my best to answer your queries.
Mike Jocelyn delivered your welcome pack, I will pass on your thanks by copying this email to him.
Street lighting (until the roads are adopted) are the responsibility of your
builder (except spine roads such as school Lane who come under the project office). Lighting should be provide where there are occupied homes, assuming they are not private roads..
New house do not come with aerials but the wiring is in place
http://www.cambourne.info/info.html "did you know that you may have cables provided in your house for a television aerial in the loft. you may need a signal booster if you want to run more than one set. costs less than £25.
further details/instructions available from me if required. . the wires for the tv sockets and aerial lead (in the loft) terminate in a box in the front of your house, they will need joining together "

Satellite dishes, are being reviewed, you will notice that Bryant already supply them with new homes. http://www.cambourne.info/sattelite.html will direct you to where and where not they can go. It was never intended to allow dishes and covenants are in place to prevent them, but in your case there is no NTL service (as was planned). You have 2 years to raise snagging lists, but obviously things like decorating should be notified ASAP. Copy all your letters to Bovis head office as well as local AND KEEP copies. They will normally send out the site manager to ask about problems soon after you move in, at least they used to ! Persevere and put signs in your windows if you are not happy, works well, they soon fix things.

Please keep an eye on my web site for other questions, and don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks for your quick response. This has helped me enormously.
Other than that I am finding living in Cambourne to be excellent and I am very impressed with the new Morrisons Superstore.
Thanks to Mike Jocelyn for info pack.
