Questions that CBWRA Chairs Larisa Villar Hauser and Louis Sebastian Kendall can’t or won’t answer

  • Why is someone who has been the subject of 4 complaints to the Police by 3 CBW residents still a member of the CBWRA committee and a director of the Right to Manage company and part of the laughable ‘oversight committee’ running the 2024 Chair elections?
  • Why were residents not allowed to see candidates’ manifestos prior to voting opening?
  • Why were residents not allowed to meet with candidates before voting opened?
  • Why has no one in the CBWRA committee been sanctioned for the obvious misconduct of the 2023 Chair elections?
  • Why has no action been taken in relation to anti-Semitic tweets, the author of which seems to be a very close match for a committee member (photo, twitter bio, writing style)
  • Why is one candidate (me) barred from the CBW app? Why are Larisa and Louis unable to produce any evidence of the supposed legal reasons for this?
  • Why do we still not have a clear timelines or targets for completion of the RTM process?
  • Why are there no elections for Directors of the Right to Manage Company?
  • Why were the CBWRA committee not allowed to see and vote on approval of the contract with Urang?
  • Why are residents not able to see the contract with Urang?
  • Why are they not challenging the grossly inflated budget for Building Safety Act works? (£400k approx)
  • Why did the ‘co-chairs’ decided to stay in office at 2 months beyond their elected term?
  • Why have CBWRA finances declined from £27,000 to around £5,000 in two years? What does this say about the committee’s ability to oversee a £5 million service charge budget after RTM?
  • Why have CBWRA not published full accounts?
  • Why has CBWRA changed the constitution to remove the requirement for resident auditors?
  • Why has CBWRA changed the constitution to remove leaseholders’ right to inspect correspondence between CBWRA and the freeholders and managing agents?
  • Why is pro-committee online bullying and arbitrary account closure still the norm on the CBW app?
  • Why has the motion passed by residents at the SGM in September 2023, calling for a formal written process to govern the closure of CBW app accounts still not been enacted?
  • Why were no notes from the ‘leaseholder forum’ meeting in October 2023 or February 2024 (Hint: the committee were heavily criticised for lack of progress on RTM and poor communication and online bullying was also raised)
