POST<br />

PARCELS<br />
Parcels will need signing for. Your accommodation team can do<br />
that for you, but you’ll need to tell them in advance. They can be<br />
collected between the hours of 09.00am till 5.00pm from Monday<br />
to Friday. Emails will be sent to inform students on the times.<br />
LAUNDRY<br />
The laundry room is on the ground floor next to the Gym.<br />
BIKES<br />
Our bike sheds are next to the main office outside <strong>Portobello</strong> <strong>House</strong>.<br />
They’re secure and lockable, but it’s your responsibility<br />
to ensure they are locked and unfortunately we can’t take any<br />
responsibility for any loss. You will need to come to reception and<br />
speak to the manager to get a code for the doors.<br />
DAMAGES<br />
Even if it’s an accident, own up – otherwise, everyone gets charged.<br />
See your tenancy agreement for a full list of charges.<br />
Your safety and security<br />
is our number one<br />
priority. We’ve got it<br />
covered – but you can<br />
help us by following a<br />
few safety tips.<br />
FIRST AID<br />
If you have an accident, please report it to your accommodation<br />
team. There’s a first aid box in the office for minor accidents.<br />
IN CASE OF FIRE<br />
Your room is fitted with a smoke detector. So are kitchens and<br />
corridors. Don’t tamper with them. When a fire alarm goes off, never<br />
assume it’s just a drill. Make sure you know your nearest exit, and<br />
know how to leave the building safely. Your designated assembly<br />
point is the large public footpath opposite <strong>Portobello</strong> <strong>House</strong>.<br />
DOORS AND WINDOWS<br />
We ask that you keep doors closed at all times and lock your door<br />
and windows when you’re going out. Fire doors are there to protect<br />
you and when closed they will stop the spread of fire, so please<br />
don’t prop your door open. Windows will only tilt outwards and for<br />
your own safety, should not be opened fully.<br />
SAFE AND SOUND<br />
If you’re worried about the safety of any of the equipment in your<br />
room or the communal areas or you see any suspicious behaviour,<br />
please inform your accommodation team.
