The Director & Committee
Transgressions
From 2016 to the present day:
Their record is
a disgrace!
January
2020 -
Appointment of 2 additional Directors, residents
were not notified of this major change.
November 2019 -
An
invitation given for a resident to Inspect the
2017/18 Account then on the allocated day 27/11/19
they - prior to the actual Inspected, attempted
to extract a signed non-disclosure agreement
-

October 2019
- At the
AGM the company secretary Mrs. J Lowes made
unfounded and untrue allegations against a resident
who had contributed many items to the website,
full details of her
outburst can be found here. This is not
the kind of behaviour anyone would expect from a
serving member of the company and committee member
who is supposed to represent the residents, nor is
it the first time she has lied at earlier AGM's -
see
the secretary's comment here!
August 2019
- The
continuing misuse of residents funds by sending
solicitors letters to the owner of the website in an
attempt to intimidate and bully her into complying
with their wishes.
July 2019
- The
committee allowed the company secretary Mrs. J. Lowes to erect a sign on her
garage, this is a breach of the lease due to it
being a personal matter rather than estate related,
and it clearly states this is not allowed as far as
the lease is concerned.
Full
details can be found here.
June 2019
- Window
Cleaning Service was withdrawn from the owner of No.
26 due to the Issue concerning the director and
committee not allowing an Inspection of the 2017/18
Account to take place.
4/3/19 - a spinney was erected by
the director and committee on 'common ground' - they
have breached the
Lease by their action.
4/3/19 - Removed a
residents washing post even though the resident
concerned is protected under the Disability Act
2000. The director and committee stated it
breached the Lease as it was erected on common
ground. Catch up on the Washing Line Saga by

and

31/1/19 -
Inspection of the Account for 2017/18 has been
refused, no reason given, they are in breach of
clause 3.6 of the Lease and committed an offence
under the Landlord & Tenant's Act 1985 which they
could be prosecuted for.
A
resident received a threatening letter from the
director and committee designed to intimidate and
bully her into complying with their wishes over her
washing post.
October 2018 -
They have been complicit with the company solicitor
(Mr. J....) in lying to a resident in relation to taking the owner
of the website to court, he stated that a case was
in progress at the AGM 2018 which, after checking
with the Courts, it turned out to be a blatent lie.
October 2018 -The company director (Mrs. D. Clark) and committee
(Mrs. J. Lowes, Mrs. S. T...... and Mr. D. M.....), deliberately lied on a
number of topics during the 2018 AGM with regard to
past events, in particular the meeting with
the accountant which had been held in early 2018.
They also failed to check that the minutes of
meeting itself were accurate before being issued,
unfortunately it was stated that one particular
resident had said something about another which was
completely false, she felt so strongly about being
falsely accused that she later contacted the
committee about the matter.
The lack of courtesy shown by the director and
committee to even acknowledge or respond to a
resident’s emails relating to clarification of
accounting issues, perhaps they feel 'they don't
have to'.
Refusal to issue a full analysis/breakdown of the
Repairs & Renewal Expenses for year 2017/18 – when
questioned at the last AGM in 2018, the director’s
reasons for this was ‘because we don’t have to’,
this statement does not inspire trust or confidence
in her or the committee.
One committee member (Mrs. S. T......) blatently lied at the
2018 AGM when she
stated that the humourous videos which had been
included in the website earlier in the year (and
later taken down) included four letter words.
Since then the full transcript of the first of the
video’s has been published on the website -
read the
transcript here.
Harassment, intimidation and threatening solicitors
letters sent to a resident on the instructions of
the director and committee in an attempt to harass
and intimidate, this due to the website highlighting
the lack of accountability and transparency
especially with regard to expenditure of the
residents service charge.
The
correspondence from and to the solicitor can be
viewed here.
A number of residents have
been ostracized from all
community activities by the director and committee
because they are unhappy with the residents
concerned who have dared to question their lack of
accountability and suitability to hold the positions
they do.
Nepotism shown to family members of the company secretary
when work was being allocated to tradesmen.
Another resident was verbally abused and bullied by
the secretary’s husband in 2017 over what payment
should be charged by his son-in-law for painting her
small fencing at the front of her house.
November 2017
- Refusal of the director (Mrs. D. Clark) to be transparent and
accountable with regard to the Painting Contract
2015/16 which appears to have been mishandled from
start to finish. When the managing agent at
the time was questioned at the 2017 AGM he stated he
had been instructed by the director not to discuss
the matter – why?.
November 2017
- Missing money in
the 2012 Account – when this was brought to light at
the 2017 AGM, the director failed to enquire or
follow up with the accountant at the time (Mr. Edward E.........)
regarding an amount of £600 which was unaccounted
for – when questioned by a resident, the accountant
stated it had been a ‘typo error’. Why did Mrs.
Clark in
her capacity as company director, not investigate further
and report back to the residents once she became
aware of this?
A resident was harassed, verbally abused and
threatened with physical violence in public by the
director of the SRA in 2016 over the washing line
issue.
