Homeowners’ Forum

  • Presence of surveyors in the community discussed. Board clarified that they are not appointed by HOA.

Event managers will pay personal attention to avoid this issue in the future. Manor House owners clarified that they always require the wedding couples to have insurance just in case any untoward event happens leading to damage to home owners property.
