Spring Clean-up

Many of our residents have jumped early to spruce up their yards by trimming trees, shrubbery and lawns.  They have planted colorful flowers, making the neighborhood very attractive.  If you are one of the procrastinators, please join the majority and help make Nottingham as attractive as it can be.  This is the time of year when houses go on the market, and an attractive neighborhood will keep our home values up.   

Nottingham Country Park on Rennie.

Heavy rains come with the arrival of spring.  Our park on Rennie has suffered many years from ponding water on the South side of the park adjacent to the residents that live on Hampshire Rocks. This created a sloppy condition for that part of the park including the jogging track.  The water created a health hazard by providing a breading ground for mosquitoes.  In March the association in co-operation with the Mason Creek Utility District in stalled a storm drain.  It begins near the parking and runs due east to the vicinity of the Utility District water storage tank, then north to connect to a storm system manhole.  Mason Creek U D participated for about twenty percent of the cost for the share or work on their property.  The net cost for the Association’s share is less than $61,000.00.   Observations of recent rains have shown the project is performing and ponding is not happening.

Security

Sergeant Phil Bennett has served our community for many years along with three deputies from Harris County Precinct 5 Constable office.  He has been given different responsibilities and is replaced by Sgt. Deborah Potter. We welcome her to the community and look forward to the continued fine support for Nottingham Country.
