I’ll add it to the video/media section when I get time.

This is by far the worst case materially I have seen and I sincerely hope RMG are sufficiently shamed into acting for the sake of the poor residents so I don’t want to belittle it but, while the programme is a good expose and the problems at this development are obviously dreadful, I was a little dissapointed they didn’t dig deeper. How RMG/CPM operate with respect to fee levels and ‘debt’ collection, their bullying tactics and attitude towards correspondance was not touched upon. The presenter states that the residents are paying £1600 per year each which is excorbitant. Multiply by 36 flats and that’s £57,600 per year – and then we hear the old CPM/RMG adage “There isn’t enough money!”. Then where the hell has it gone? Come on Watchdog, this is where the real issue lies, show everyone how much they cream off for the ’service’ of neglecting your home and ignoring your concerns.

I would like to know everyones thought on this so drop your comment in the box below (you’ll need to register/login). Also, Nicky Cambell says at the end of that section that they want to hear from anyone experiencing similar difficulties. That is an open invitation people!

It appears that the BBC’s Watchdog programme have the hounds out and are sniffing around the block. Could make for an interesting evening in on the sofa. I’ll have to stock the fridge with beers!
