The <strong>College</strong> Porters<br />
Phone (internal extension number) 92304<br />
Jonathan, George, Simon and Stewart’s duties are numerous. Many of these<br />
are mundane but essential to the running of the college. So, from time to<br />
time, when you really need the porter because you have locked yourself out<br />
and you’re wearing nothing but a towel, he will undoubtedly be in the mail<br />
room or out buying a bacon sandwich! Joking aside, the porters are usually<br />
the first port of call for the 1001 questions that you will have regarding the<br />
college and the uni, and there is a porter on duty 24 hours a day, seven days<br />
a week during termtime. The porters are here to make your life in Cartmel as<br />
easy as possible. If the porter cannot answer your query, he should,<br />
theoretically, know someone who can. Problems relating to maintenance,<br />
whether in your bedroom, bathroom, kitchen or in your flat in general, should<br />
be reported online at http://estates.lancs.ac.uk/EstatesFM/ but if you are<br />
unable to access the online service, you can report the problem to the Porter<br />
on duty or the Residence Officer.<br />
The <strong>College</strong> Cleaners<br />
A cleaner’s life can be far from pleasant, as you will agree once you have<br />
seen for yourself the havoc sometimes left in a kitchen for them to clear up<br />
the following morning! It is appreciated that many new students will be<br />
experiencing the advantages and disadvantages of communal living for the<br />
first time, which is why we advise the setting up of a roster system for<br />
cleaning the kitchen, cooker, microwave and fridge because this means that<br />
everyone has a fair share of the chores. The cleaners enjoy being helpful, but<br />
they themselves are working to a strict timetable and extra help given to one<br />
area means another having to be neglected. The rota system works very well<br />
in most flats, so please make this one of your first priorities.<br />
