Rubbish, recycling, and food scraps are to be separated and put into the correct bin.
Do not prevent others from enjoying the communal areas.
Do not place anything in the communal facilities without the approval of the Committee.
Do not drop litter anywhere in the development.
Children must be supervised at all times.
Do not vandalise or destroy any communal property.
