The first AGM of the Chelsea Bridge Wharf RTM company took place today, 24th November, 2025, chaired by Louis Kendall. This is an AGM and elections that the current directors have been dragged… Continue reading

First Chelsea Bridge Wharf Leaseholders’ meeting with Urang – have we dialled the wrong number?

If you attended the meeting with Urang at BPS on 9th June, I would be interested to hear what you thought of it. In my view there were some good questions from leaseholders… Continue reading

Urang bizarrely claim ‘new era of transparency’ at Chelsea Bridge Wharf – but leaseholders cannot even see the contract with Urang and little prospect of fair elections

In a rather bizarre and laughable email to leaseholders on 9th May, Urang (the managing agent which will take over from Rendall and Rittner in under a week) announced their first meeting with… Continue reading

Elections will be held for Directors of the Chelsea Bridge Wharf Right to Manage Company – but will they be Fair and Free?

Larisa Villar Hauser and Louis Sebastian Kendall: We will not hold elections for Directors of Right to Manage Company, will not hold AGM and will not show members the contract signed with Urang

As the notes from the leaseholder forum on 6th November 2024 show, the ‘co-chairs’ have no intention of changing the dysfunctional culture of CBWRA. Indeed they would not be co-chairs without this dysfunctional… Continue reading

Notes – highlights of the CBWRA  ‘Leaseholder Forum’ of 6th November 2024

The CBWRA ‘co chairs’ Larisa Villar Hauser and Louis Sebastian Kendall have refused to provide notes of previous leaseholder forum meetings and have not given any meaningful reason for that. I believe the… Continue reading

CBWRA committee – latest developments in their weird campaign to monopolise communications at Chelsea Bridge Wharf

The CBWRA 2024 AGM – once again a desperation to restrict resident involvement

Residents were sent the following email (below) re the AGM by CBWRA ‘co-chairs’ Larisa Villar Hauser and Louis Sebastian Kendall, who changed the constitution in September 2023 resulting in only 9% of leaseholders… Continue reading

Five months later – still no written process for CBW app account closures

In September 2023, with the support of residents, I passed a motion at the CBWRA SGM which required a written process to be provide regarding the closure of CBW app accounts. The aim of this was to prevent the arbitrary closure of residents’ CBW app accounts simply because they dare to question the ‘wisdom’ of the CBWRA committee or to point out that they are misinforming residents that Right to Manage was not possible or simply saying things that are not true. More than 10 weeks later there has been no update on this from CBWRA committee and no sign of this written procedure. This means that CBW app accounts can still be closed in an arbitrary and subjective way, without any evidence regarding the reasons for account closure needing to be presented to the person whose account is closed, nor any chance given to them to respond or appeal. This is an utterly revolting form of censorship, in effect.
