The Sky's the limit!

Residents of the Grove 1 Estate are frequently providing new issues and for this fact alone I am pleased that a residents Association for the Area is to be held at 18:30 on Thursday 7th May at Somerville Hall. It is vital that all residents of this estate attend and work together to resolve the outstanding issues.

I recent alleged concern is the diabolical extraction of longstanding satellite dishes from residences on the Grove 1 Estate. Residents allude to the inappropriate removal of sky dishes without warning (some purported to have been installed no less than 4 years previous?) and the installation of a communal sky dish. Reports from residents state that connection to the communal dish costs £120.00 for those without previous connections and £80.00 to those who previously had private dishes. Allegedly those with previous dishes were also forced to pay £80.00 for the ignominy of having their previous satellite dishes removed? bizarrely enough, an enterprising resident asked for a quote from Sky for connection to the communal point and they have stipulated a cost of £40.00 would suffice for the works - if access was permitted. I do question the need for a charge of £120.00 especially when considering many of the housed residents are on full benefits?

All residents spoken to believe, that posters informing residents of the proposed removal of private dishes, were installed on flat foyer doors a few days before the works were undertaken.

If the allegations are true it would paint a very devious picture of the actions of the management agents. I have asked L&Q to investigate.
