📅 30 April 2025
Dear Residents,
TTMC and Urang Property Management are proceeding with major lift works at The Maltings without proper consultation, ignoring over 30 formal objections from leaseholders.
⚠️ What’s Wrong
- Leaseholders were already charged £21,000 in 2023 for lift upgrades
- Block B was already upgraded, confirmed by independent inspection
- Now we’re being charged again — with no explanation
⚠️ Safety Failures
- Emergency call button in Block D was non-functional (reported Feb 2025)
- No urgent action was taken until a resident became trapped
- Still no clear explanation of the fault or repairs
⚖️ MCRA Legal Action Underway
- Letter Before Action issued to TTMC & Urang
- If ignored, emergency court injunction to be filed after 2 May
- Escalated to:
- First-tier Tribunal
- HSE
- The Property Institute (TPI)
🛠 We Support Repairs — But Done Right
We support necessary lift works — but they must be:
✅ Fully consulted
✅ Legally compliant
✅ Transparent
✅ Safe and financially justified
We will not allow unlawful charges or unsafe practices to continue.
In solidarity,
Maltings Close Residents’ Association (MCRA)
