After the shocking news uncovered this week about the District Council breaking their commitment to residents, The Dovecote Residents’ Association (TDRA) Elected Committee met to develop a plan to respond to the unexpected events earlier in the week.

We have summarised the Key Points for those who just want the headlines and for those that would like to read a little more, head to our In-Depth Analysis.

Key Points

  • As reported in shocking news leaked at a recent meeting, VWHDC proceeded with handover without the involvement of TDRA.
  • TDRA Elected Committee has met and come up with an initial 4-point plan which has been subsumed into a new section on this website, which is entitled Our Plan.
  • This plan will be kept under review and enhanced as and when required over the coming months.

In-Depth Analysis

Background

After the news was leaked at an enforcement meeting on Mon 2nd Oct 2023, TDRA didn’t wait too long before convening a meeting and focusing on the job at hand.

We are now more resolute in our determination to achieve the outcome that we desire: securing control over the day to day running of the Management Company.

Our initial 4-point plan can be found integrated into our new section of this site, entitled Taking Control. The title seems appropriate since that’s exactly what we intend on doing! There is a separate post that explains more about the updates to the RA’s website.

The team encourages the residents of The Dovecote to respond with their thoughts on this plan. Remember that our objective is to ensure the best possible outcome for all residents is achieved.

This all adds up to a fair amount of work for the small TDRA team. We will continue to take one step at a time on the path to taking control of The Dovecote (Drayton) Management Company.

      Agreed! Let's hope we can make that happen.

    It seems like the process is being steam-rollered through for the sake of a box-ticking exercise at the potential cost of the home-owners and residents.
    I understand Bloor's motivation to 'be shot' of the operational burden of the development and move on to the next project. I do not understand why VWHDC appears to facilitate this without any engagement from the residents, represented by TDRA.

      Thanks Mike - agree that VWHDC seems like they have messed us about big time...
