.....Latest from Alexandra Tower

Following a meeting with Thompson and Moulton in September in respect of an update to issues concerning the building and suggestions given to Thompson and Moulton in order to improve communication with the residents and owners and offer a service worthy of a management fee I have to report the following.

Thompson and Moulton are no longer employed to manage the building, by either the bank or the recievers, Zolfo Copper (acting for the all parties.

1) As such, an update on the Car Park Lifts and whether they are to be replaced, or if possible, have a long term effective repair in place is not forthcoming

2) Furthermore, an update as to the issue concerning the building safety and the 360 degree / top to bottom inspection of the glass panels also remains outstanding.

On both point above a letter will be sent to Zolfo Cooper and a response will be copied to residents who request a copy.

Just when you think you are getting somewhere after two years!

Granted the outages with the carpark lifts are no where near as bad as this time last year, but as we approach the cold/wet season which was blamed for much of the outages last year, it remains to be seen whether (without a permanent solution) we will get through the Autumn / Winter pain free, or with the same outages that caused outrage last year.

If there are any problems residents wish to highlight and get answers to, we have a running dialogue with the building receivers, (who are calling all the shots along with the bank) so just use the forum or leave your contact details (inc email) with John on reception and he'll pass your enquiry through.

Then as I know more I'll update everyone!
