You said: Our grounds maintenance providers were not delivering the standard of service residents wanted and expected.

You said: Due to the circumstances surrounding the coronavirus, we were unable to hold the usual AGM and pre-budget meetings face-to-face with residents on this leasehold scheme.
We did: Instead of cancelling or postponing the meeting, we held it online. In advance of the meeting, the local Homeownership Specialist recorded a presentation of the annual accounts, explaining any variations in charges. A recording of the meeting was posted online for the benefit of residents who had not been able to attend.

You said: Residents had made suggestions as to how the outdoor communal areas could be improved.
We did: We consulted with customers on proposals to improve the car parking area at Linnburn Mews by adding white lines marking the separate bays. The consultation did not yield enough responses for us to be able to proceed with this work. We did however receive another suggestion as to how the outdoor communal areas could be improved. This would involve removing a hedge and replacing it with hardstanding area to make space for the communal bins, thus creating another car parking space.
