Redecoration and Repairs
Over the coming weeks, we will have decorators and roofing contractors in B5 & B6. Disruption in some areas will be inevitable and I will keep you updated as time goes on. Thank you for your co operation.

Car Parks
Serious incidents have occurred where cars have been damaged/scratched while parked. PLEASE consider the space between cars when parking, walking with suitcases, brief cases etc. Be on the alert in and around the car park areas and let Billy know on LPhelpdesk@mepc.com if you see any issues of concern.

Smoking
It is apparent during the improved weather that the benches are being used by smokers - however as mentioned before the reason why there is a NO SMOKING sign in these areas is that smoke disperses into adjacent offices. Please be considerate and smoke in designated areas only.

Bus Passes
Drivers on some Arriva buses have reported that some people are using their bus passes out of normal working hours. PLEASE NOTE: these free bus passes are for journeys to and from work in and around the Watford Area only. Please be respectful of this benefit.

Personnel Armoured Carrier, Cars, replica Space Shuttle
An out of the ordinary request: Movie props. near Warner Bros. Studio to be removed by any means possible. With the help of a JCB, crane etc. these items were taken away and scrapped and monies donated to Alzheimers Society, Marie Currie Cancer Care and the Peace Hospice in Warford.
