Emergency lighting and communal electrical works at Carey Gardens Estate

6 months ago Featured

Following three major works carried out in succession, and an assurance that no further works would be required for ten years, the freeholder (Council) should reconsider these newly proposed unplanned works, which would raise my monthly payments to the Council close to £600. Given the above, it is unreasonable for the Council to impose further costs on leaseholders on a local authority estate intended to offer affordable charges. If the works are required for statutory compliance under BS 5266-1:2025 (effective 31 October 2025), the Council should utilise the reserve fund to which all leaseholders contribute annually through their service charges.

Very unfair! We are still paying for the roof, and will be for the next 3 years! They are asking for more money, for something that is not down to us to pay for, as the lighting is already installed. It's quite honestly disgusting,!!

Please do not go on with these plans.

I am not convined on the intervention as proposed

Totally unreasonable to ask leaseholders to pay more money!

This is too much of an asking as we already had to cover a massive amount for the roof. I's competely unreasonable to ask leasholdes to pay more money.

Existing lighting seems perfectly adequate. Leaseholders have just recently had a large bill for a new roof. I think the lighting can wait.

Stop keep finding reasons to charge leaseholders.

I would like to opt out

There is no legal basis for these works to be defined as major works; therefore leaseholders cannot be held liable for additional charges.

This is unnecessary you cant just keep making up unless jobs to charge lease holders

I formally object, I can’t afford to pay for these works!!!! I have enough bills and payments to pay for.

This is unreasonable, we cannot afford this. Please pay!!

I a resident of the Carey Gardens i object paying for the light as it a public service and included with service charge

Transferring Council capex spend onto the residents does not seem justifiable

I am totally object/disagree to the proposed emergency lighting and communal electrical works at Carey Gardens Estate as cost works will impact all of us residents.

I oppose against charging leaseholders for the mentioned work

This is a safety concern and should be funded by the council, As the lights are already there..charging us for the roof already which is £123 pound a month over four years.. Now charge us for lights to save the council £20,000 year it's going to cost us money it's wrong.
