Responsiblities to your lease holder (Circle Living) and your neighbours.

Some information for residents of the shared ownership block at Viridian Square. To those neighbours who continue to break the peace in this block and the square take note of the final point mentioned in this note.

Why not help to ensure that your friends dont vandalise fire doors on the grond floor as they have done recently when they come back here drunk after a night out on the town. Most importantly please ask them to keep the peace in Block C and the square. We all live here and it would be good if you and your friends had some considertaion for the other law abiding residents who pay to live here!!!
