Lockdown Side Effect Perhaps
You really
couldn't make it up - things appear to
be in a state of confusion as far as the
directors and committee go - briefly:
On June 23,
2020 changes were announced of
resignations from the committee -
see here, now it seems that our
Secretary Mrs. Joyce L.... has had a
change of heart has been reinstated as a
committee member.
So on the
surface it would appear that the
directors and committee who by their
actions have shown that the opinions of
the residents are totally irrelevant,
they now create new committee members,
reinstate ones who have resigned without
going through the proper proceedures of
having residents vote on who serves on
the committee, they serve their own
interests and not the residents!

Botched Attempt at Desception
email sent by a resident to the managing
agent, director and committee on Monday
April 8, 2019, with regard to them
stealing her washing post -
see
here.
It's interesting to note that the
following day Tuesday April 9 after they
received the email, they sent a letter
(see below) together with a cheque to
the resident, the letter was then sent
by FIRST CLASS POST to ensure
fast delivery.
Important to note:
-
Their letter was dated: March
19, 2019 - 3 WEEKS AGO.
-
Their cheque was dated:
March 19, 2019 - 3 WEEKS AGO.
-
Their letter was posted :
April 9, 2019 - sent via 1st
class mail for fast dly
(after receiving the email from
the resident concerned)
Do the managing agent, director and
committee honestly believe that people
are as stupid as they are, and how
obvious it is what they have done - you
really couldn't make it up!

2/9/18:
Once again our director and committee have
shown what they are made of and how pathetic
their actions are, these are the people who
were elected to look after the interests and
well being of the residents without showing
favour or bias. It would appear
from their recent actions that they continue
to be a little 'upset' to say the least with a small number
of residents who obviously are proving to be a
major thorn in their side (who knew), simply
because they voice their opinions in public.
The recent action referred to consists of
the director and committee going out of
their way again to shun and
ostracize
these
residents by not including them in the
notification of the
proposed future lunch and trip activities.
It makes one wonder who is the driving force
behind this infantile behaviour - I suspect
it could possibly be the committee member
who was mentioned in the comments page
here.
It's also interesting to note that on the
previous occasion when a similar situation
arose, that the company secretary was also
away on holiday, one conclusion could be
that there is no one left on the committee
who had a modicum of common sense,
consequently the rest run amok without any
guidance.
This kind
of behaviour is totally unacceptable because
if they are not held to book over it, they
will continue to attempt to bully and
intimidate some residents when it suits
them, and if they decide your face does not
fit for any reason then YOU COULD BE NEXT
for their brand of 'special treatment'.
Perhaps it's
time for the residents to show their
displeasure at their continued unacceptable
conduct and possibly vote them out at the
upcoming AGM!
"Lord, grant me the
serenity to accept
stupid people the way
they are, courage to
maintain my self control
and wisdom to know that
if I act on it, there
may be another
solicitors letter on the
way to me."

Update
to 'Oh Dear' - we were
in such a state of flux
yesterday that the
ability to count went
out of the window,
in fact only 3 of the
committee were
responsible, the 4th
committee member and
possibly the only one
who has ever shown a
modicum of intelligence,
was off for an extended
period taking the rays
in warmer climes - which
may explain the lack of
good judgement and
idiotic antics shown by
the remaining 3.
I'm
sure our visitors will be
happy to know that the
Backburners are slowly
recovering from the
slight shown to them
yesterday, all functions
are returning to normal
nicely helped along the
way by our liquid
medication but please
try to be quiet today as
there is a possibility
of hangovers.
These committee members
who have gotten kinda
personal with us in this
way must be addressed.
It has been decided that
given their continued
contribution and
enjoyment they have
provided to our visitors
since the site's launch,
together with their
unrelenting and ongoing
service to the community
- especially with refusing
permissions to some of
the residents, they
really do deserve to be
given the rare honour of
their own personal piece
of clipart, enjoy!

You know those rare
moments in life when
something happens and it
not only leaves you
gobsmacked but not only
that, you actually
wonder how people could
be so stupid and if they
actually have a brain!
Well here goes folks –
listen up, you may at
some point be on the
receiving end of something
similar if you don’t
doff your cap, tug your
forelock and generally cowtow to the director
and her
committee.
Today
2 committee members
delivered a letter to
the majority of the
residents, however they
did not deliver the said
letter to members of the
Backburners. The letter
was to inform the
residents of a proposed
bus trip with
instructions to anyone
who was interested in
going how to put their
names forward. As the
letter was intended for
‘all’ residents, it
makes one wonder why
they felt they had to
leave out the
Backburners, could it be
an active snub, a way of
showing disapproval,
letting us know they
didn’t want us there etc
etc – the possibilities
are endless.
The
Backburners are
currently feeling very
unloved, unappreciated
and totally shunned by
the powers that be as
you can well imagine, we
are aghast to say the
least and wonder what we
could possibly have done
to warrant such
behaviour from them.
Now we do know that the
website has been a bone
of contention from day
one and the director and
committee are still
feeling the fraustration
and after affects of
their failure to shut it
down, not to mention the
expense they went to,
then there is the matter
of the washing line, and
of course a couple of us
have been making our
views known on the
website – but come on,
what they have done
today is kinda personal.
Anyway
we can feel a deep
depression coming on
which may call for
medication of the liquid
kind and if anyone would
like to give us a big
group hug you are more
than welcome to join us,
just bring your own
bottle as we have
limited supplies. An
emergency Backburners
meeting may be necessary
as feelings are
currently running
particularly high, blood
pressures are rising to
dangerous levels, and
walking aids are being
waved in the air, there
is even talk of people
moving into old peoples
homes and
putting properties up
for sale at
knock down prices!
On a more serious note,
it has to be said that
the school yard tactics
is still alive and well
and persued by the
director
and her committee. The
level and lack of
intelligence and common
sense shown by this
latest incident is just
beyond belief. How
could 3 adult old age
pensioners who are
supposed to be looking
after the interests of
the residents and be of
sane mind, get their
heads together and agree
to such a childish
gesture, it really shows
them up for what they
are, stupid, mean
spirited and losing the
plot altogether - maybe
it's time for them to retire and
bring in new blood.

Seriously!
Our new managing
agent Hartlepool
Property Management
Ltd., will be taking
over the running of
the Sycamores
according to the
Director and
Committee (stated on
latest Minutes).
Lets hope and pray that
the joke isn't on the
residents of the estate
who had not been
consulted
on their
appointment.
An interesting
development:
On the 20th Sept 2017, I was prevented
by the Director of the SRA from
putting up a notice on the
Sycamores community room notice
board announcing this website.
This was something of a
surprise, since I had previously
contacted the committee and
Managing Agent on12th September
for permission which had been
granted on 17th September by
the SRA committee via the
Managing Agent, however, when I
attempted to put up the notice
the SRA Director stated "we’ve
changed our mind about giving
permission". I said that there
had been no notification from
the Managing Agent or committee
about the withdrawal of
permission, the Director's
response was ‘I'm the Director
and I make the decisions around
here, not the Managing Agent’.
I find it particularly
interesting considering the
Director’s response to the
notice announcing the website,
especially in relation to the
Director’s response - written on
an envelope (as shown below) to
a resident who sent a message to
the committee regarding Fire
Safety,
Finally, I think it’s very
appropriate to repeat part of
the wonderful quote from the
RAUK shown on the Sycamores
Resident’s Association Page
here: http://www.sycamores-estate.uk/sra.htm
“They certainly act
democratically seeing themselves
as serving their community not
lauding it over residents…”
