Follow‑Up to Meeting of 24 April 2026 – 57–59 Henry Darlot Drive (DT15604)
Beth Lancaster
Dear Mr Tomlinson (note that my emails to his address always bounce back so would someone be so kind as to forward to him) and Members of the RTA,
I regret that I was unable to attend the meeting on Friday owing to a family emergency. I understand that my apologies were communicated accordingly.
Further to the meeting held on 24 April 2026, FirstPort Property Services writes to formally acknowledge the concerns raised by residents of 57–59 Henry Darlot Drive regarding the communal heating system and associated service charge matters.
FirstPort recognises residents’ concerns relating to historic heating outages, plant and machinery cost variances, the application of administration charges during disputed periods, and the need for clearer communication and transparency.
Following the meeting, FirstPort is undertaking the following actions:
- Reviewing historic plant and machinery costs and preparing a clear written breakdown of charges levied through the service charge;
- Seeking confirmation from Taylor Wimpey regarding developer funding of temporary boilers and fuel costs;
- Reviewing the application of administration and late payment fees, including refunds where fees were applied incorrectly;
- Finalising the review of historic cost apportionment errors and confirming any refunds or credits due; and
- Improving resident communication by issuing summary updates following planned servicing and maintenance visits.
FirstPort will issue a comprehensive written response to the RTA once these reviews are complete. We remain committed to working constructively with residents, the RTA, and stakeholders to bring clarity and resolution to the matters discussed.
I have prepared a draft set of minutes based on the meeting transcript. These will be reviewed for completeness by Vicky, who attended the meeting on Friday, before circulation tomorrow.
Kind Regards
|
