Summary: The CBWRA ‘co-chairs’ recently claimed that there was a limit of 3 motions per person at the 2023 AGM and that it would be the same this year (at the 2024 AGM).… Continue reading
The so called ‘Leaseholders Forum’ which CBWRA held with residents on the 4th October was the first ever actual meeting of residents with CBWRA (other than those which are required under the constitution… Continue reading
Those who were supposed to be ensuring a fair electoral process actively undermined it by initiating Garton-Jones’ biased email to 400 + leaseholders, while voting was live.
Many thanks to those who supported the motions I put forward for this meeting which focussed on freedom of speech on the CBW app, trying to ensure fair elections for the future and also trying to ensure that Right to Manage actually delivers increased power to residents not just to a handful of people on an unelected/unfairly elected committee. The meeting also included a vote on ‘ratification’ (i.e. not an election) of the committee and a new constitution. Two of the five motions I proposed were passed.
These motions (in plain language) were that:
That no residents CBW app account can be closed in an arbitrary manner without any due process (as was the case with the closure of my account in May 2022). The closure or threat of closure of CBW app accounts has carted a ‘chilling effect’ on the CBW app which means that residents are afraid to say what they think or to be critical of the CBWRA committee in any way.
That there will be quarterly meetings with the new managing agent (Urang) assuming that RTM foes ahead and they are appointed – the meetings will e hybrid (face to face with the option to attend online) and ALL residents will be welcome not just leaseholders.
CBWRA announced the results of the ‘fountains consultation’ on 5th September, They state
”A total of 253 leaseholders completed the survey. Of these:
130 voted in favour of submersible pumps
18 voted to turn the fountains back on without changing the pumps
105 voted to leave the fountains out of operation until such a time as they could be replaced.”
very bizarrely CBWRA decided not to give percentages for the results so I am happy to help them out
130 (51.4%) voted in favour of submersible pumps
18 (7.1%) voted to turn the fountains back on without changing the pumps
105 (41.5%) voted to leave the fountains out of operation until such a time as they could be replaced.”
Some weeks ago I published this article about the CBWRA fountains ‘consultation’ and pointed out that it was biased and unprofessional and clearly leading residents heavily towards supporting the installation of new pumps.… Continue reading
