Communal Facilities
A door entry system is fitted to the entrance of each block of flats. This security feature enables you to identify any visitors before you allow them into your building. You can relax in your home knowing it is safe.
Three small car parks spread around the scheme offer convenient parking for tenants and their visitors. However, Ivor Brown Court is so well located that there is no need for the communal facilities available at other schemes.
A 24-hour alarm call system is fitted to all the properties in the scheme. This links you to the Scheme Manager or Helpline when the Scheme Manager is off duty. The alarm call system offers you the reassurance that help is always available if you need it.
Social Activities
As part of their professional service the Scheme Manager will arrange a programme of social events and outings in consultation with tenants. Whilst this is an opportunity to socialise and make new friends there is no pressure on you to take part in any of these activities.
