College Heating:

• Now that we have designed and implemented some changes to the new system to increase the temperatures in our buildings you may note that rooms can become over-heated, if this happens please feel free to adjust the thermostatic radiator valve (video guide here) to bring the levels back to a comfortable point.
• Project consultants and engineers are continuing their works on refining the system over the coming weeks when we are expecting another short cold spell; residents will hear more on this in due course if it affects them.

• If any of you do experience temperatures in your rooms that are lower than expected then please complete an online Maintenance request and the team will attend as soon as they can.

• There are a few tips that we would encourage residents to try prior to adjusting the radiator valve in their room:

• Add some extra layers of clothing
• Ensure that radiators are free from obstructions
• Close doors
• Close windows
• If fresh air is required in your room use the trickle vents on the window frames (see video guide https://youtu.be/rijd-iXJZ48)

Emergencies

• The Lodge will be manned 24/7 throughout the holiday season for our community, so if you have an enquiry or emergency please contact via the usual means; in person or phone 01865274100

Maintenance Requests

• During the Christmas break the maintenance team will be taking a well-earned rest so any emergency requests must be directed to the Lodge, anything else will be picked up by the team in January.

The Minibus

• We will be expanding the stops on the minibus route from Tuesday 3rd January to include Mansfield Road to and from the city centre; dropping more of our community directly to where they need to be.

Electric Minibus

• Yes that’s right; Wolfson is being pioneering yet again with green initiatives and this time it’s our much troubled diesel powered minibus that is making way for an ultra-modern electric powered model that is having finished touches added as we speak and is due to arrive on site from July 2023.

Outdoor Access

• The Bridge, Sports field and Bishop’s Garden and the garage access route from Garford Road to Linton Road will remain locked from 6pm on 24th December until 10am on 27th December due to a legal requirement to have these non-public rights of way closed annually for a few days.
