Employing the Managing Agent

The Jebb Avenue Management Company Ltd (JAMC) exists to manage affairs of the Jebb Avenue estate – ensuring it is a safe and welcoming place to live. Incorporated in June 2000 JAMC is essential to maintain the freehold status of the properties on the estate.
JAMC Ltd have engaged a managing agent, BlocNet, to deal with the company’s administrative tasks and ongoing maintenance and repairs of the estate’s grounds and buildings.

JAMC is run by a committee of unpaid volunteers, residents and owners, who have taken the responsibility for running and maintenance of the estate, and who care about making it a better place to live.
Activities which the committee oversees on behalf of the estate and deals with through BlocNet or help from Lambeth Council are:

Maintenance and upkeep of the gardens
Regular cleaning of public areas and bin rooms
Structural building repairs, general maintenance and drainage upkeep
Issuance of parking permits and rental of storage sheds
Tackling anti-social behaviour

The company and the committee are not responsible for individual properties, so any damage or cleaning of individual premises is the responsibility of the respective owners.

The Committee meets as and when needed, working tirelessly at
reducing the seemingly never ending list of tasks.
It is amazing what a housing estate of 50+ apartments can throw at you.
We welcome new members (either residents or owners) who would like to be actively involved in the affairs of the committee, and contribute to making Jebb Avenue a better place to live.

If you are a shareholder/property owner, or a long term resident on the Jebb Avenue estate and would like to dedicate your time to helping us with the estate management affairs, please let us know.

Parking and Access Through Barrier

Each flat is allocated two parking permits only.
Permits are required for parking in the gated area by the garages and any area beyond the white line towards the flat roofed blocks.
If the spaces near your property are occupied, there is additional parking to the right of flats 76-81 and to the left at the top end of the estate past flats 94-99.

If you require a parking permit – permanent for your vehicle, or temporary for your guests or workmen – please contact Shelagh at no.53 Jebb Avenue between the hours of 19:00 and 21:00 on Monday, Wednesday and Friday or 08.00 – 10.00 on Saturdays. She will let you know what documentation to bring along.

If you are moving out or leaving the estate, please ensure that you return parking permits to Shelagh.
Permits are non transferable as they are for particular registration number only.
Please ensure any guests are aware of the parking restrictions as JAMC are not responsible for any tickets on non permitted vehicles on the estate grounds.
Regular checks on permits are made 24hrs a day by a third party company and any issues should be raised directly with them. Their details are clearly marked on signs around all the parking areas.

If your vehicle is currently off the road you must display a photocopy of the SORN and a valid permit at all times.

The barriers at the beginning of Jebb Avenue are controlled by the prison, residents and visitors should press the buzzer and state the number of the flat that you are going to.
When one barrier is raised there is no barrier attendant at the prison and vehicles should use the open side for access.

20 garages in the yard opposite pitched roof blocks are all privately owned by flat owners on the estate. They are not managed by the Jebb Avenue Management Committee and are not available for rent (unless their respective owners are advertising them as such).

Household waste management:

rubbish
recycling
composting

There are ample facilities for rubbish disposal, recycling, and kitchen waste composting on the Jebb Avenue estate. Please use them!

Depositing any waste outside the designated facilities is considered dumping. It is illegal, and it may land you with a fine. Read more here!

Your Household Rubbish

There are five rubbish collection points provided on the estate, please ensure that these are used for all domestic, non recyclable waste.

The bins are contained in pitched roofed, brick sheds with two sliding access hatches on either side.
There is one shed situated at each end (top and bottom), of the pitched roof bocks, on the Brixton Hill side.
Opposite the flat roofed blocks, there is one in front of flats no. 76-99 and two in front of flats no. 82-87.
Please use those most conveniently positioned for you.
If you need to open the main double door in order to deposit larger items that do not fit through the hatch please make sure that the door is shut and bolted afterwards. Otherwise, if caught by the wind, they will be damaged beyond use.

Household rubbish bin sheds

For information on disposing of large items that do not fit in the bins, like furniture, mattresses and household appliances, please click here.

Your Household Recycling

If you genuinely care about recycling please read on.
Recycling not your cup of tea? Go to Your Household
Rubbish

There are four recycling containers in the bin shed behind block 60 – 63.

Please recycle as much as you can.
Items should preferably be loose, not bagged up. If you have to bag it up, bags must be transparent, and it would be of great help if you rip the bag open for content to spill out. If any black bags are present the whole load will go to landfill, with ordinary rubbish, or just not collected at all.
Please collapse all cardboard boxes.
Please don’t put food waste into the recycling and make sure everything is rinsed/clean to keep bins fresh and vermin away.

Contaminated recycling, with food waste or non recyclables, is treated as ordinary rubbish and will be taken to landfill.
If the bins are full please keep your recycling in your flat until they have been emptied, as Lambeth Council will not take any recycling left near full bins.

What should be recycled, and what must not be put into recycling bins, please see info on Lambeth council’s website.

Your Kitchen Waste Composting

What a better way to save some room in your house rubbish bins and help us build a healthy compost heap. Great home for our local bug life, as well as giving us lovely, nutritious compost for our gardens.

There is a double composting bay at the back of the flat roofed block
76 – 81. Please see the diagram below left.

Now, some dos and don’ts of composting – please treat your compost caddy to:

All vegetable and fruit waste from cooking or munching, and any spoiled veg and fruit that got forgotten at the back of your fridge.
Egg shells – if you squash them you’ll save some caddy space, plus they do biodegrade quicker.
Any other plant material, like spent cut flowers or deceased house plants.
Coffee grounds and (non synthetic) tea bags.

Cardboard tubes from loo rolls and kitchen towels
Any paper that usually does not go into recycling: coffee filters, paper tissues, napkins, kitchen towels and egg boxes. Shredded paper from your shredder or from delivery packaging is good too.
But:
Avoid including any meat and dairy products. That may invite unwanted visitors, like rats.

Gardens

There are 3 grassed garden areas on the estate, all of which are available for use by all residents of Jebb Avenue no matter where on the estate they live.
The largest of these is nearly 100m long and can be found behind the newer build flats 76-99, accessible via the gap between flats 88-93 and 94-99. There is a small area of grass behind flats 60-67 and finally a lawn by the pedestrian gate to Brixton Hill in front of flats 94-99.

Our gardens are managed by professional contractors Davidia Urban Gardens who are at Jebb Avenue with greater frequency during peak growing months and less during winter.
We are quite fortunate to have that much surface reserved for green spaces and, being a shared freehold estate, to be able to enjoy them without outside interference.

We ask that dog owners respect the communal nature of our gardens by keeping their dogs on a leash and cleaning up after them should they foul anywhere.

Furniture in the gardens

If you have any garden furniture or a barbecue that you are using, be aware that the gardens are communal and any seating, tables or barbecues in the gardens will be for communal use also. If you do not want them to be used by others please take them indoors after you have finished using them. Likewise, any part of the garden outside your balcony/window is available for use by any resident, regardless where on the Jebb Avenue estate they reside. Basically, if you want to use the gardens and somebody has taken your favourite spot, just use any other part that is available.
