As of last year
(18th September 2013)Latchford estate was finally handed over to the council
When a transfer of ownership occurs, the responsiblity of insurance, drainage, pathways, parking, lighting, vermin control and large open green spaces passes to the council
The management company have failed to inform the residents of Latchford of this change
They have also failed to alter the budget and reduce the fees to reflect this
Management companies were abolished for housing estates by our current government but unfortunately there has been no retrospective legislation put in place to protect residents such as ourselves
I urge you to sign this petition and stop paying a fee for a service that you are not receiving and that is already covered under your normal taxes
lets, together, stop the corruption and bring community back into our housing estates
I too have been paying astonishingly high management fees for years, it's time it stopped, buying my house and now property tax is more than enough.
