Committee

The Constitution sets out how the Owners of Rowley Park, which grew out of the 1867 Covenant, is run. In brief, it covers:

• Membership: owners of residential property in Rowley Park, as listed in the Schedule of Properties (as at September 2021).
• Objects:

  • looking after the private roads, back roads and footpaths, and keeping them private;
  • upholding the Covenant;
  • running the Neighbourhood Watch scheme;
  • working with the Trustees;
  • collecting the Park rates;
  • maintaining the Pleasure Gardens, barriers, street lighting and communal areas;
  • arranging insurance.
• Management: each year the Owners elect a Chairman, Treasurer, Secretary, Neighbourhood Watch Area Co-ordinator and an Auditor. They also elect up to eleven further Owners, who together with those officers form the Survey Committee.
• Annual General Meeting: held at least once a year on 14 days’ notice. It receives the reports and audited accounts, fixes the Park rate and elects the officers and Survey Committee, with one vote per property.
