Thank you to everyone who joined me today for my Coffee Afternoon. It was great to see a strong turnout and to hear so many thoughtful, passionate contributions from residents across North West Leicestershire.
We had important discussions about the real issues people are facing on new developments, from unfinished roads and poor drainage to high and opaque management fees. Time and again, I heard how frustrating it is to feel left in limbo on unadopted estates, with little transparency and rising costs.
Back in March I co-sponsored a 10-minute rule bill on unadopted estates (the Housing Estates Bill). I’m pleased that the Minister has confirmed that two-thirds of the bill’s proposals are now part of the two live Government consultations on reducing the use of private estate management arrangements.
Today’s conversation will directly inform my response to those consultations.
We spoke about how we can:
✔️ Protect residents from unfair and escalating charges
✔️ Increase transparency and accountability for management companies
✔️ Roads and public spaces, and how these are managed
✔️ Give homeowners a stronger voice]
This is a key moment about taking a real step towards ending “Fleecehold” and securing a fairer deal for homeowners.
If you weren’t able to attend but would like to share your experience or views, please do get in touch with me directly. Your voice matters, and I will continue pushing for change on your behalf.
