Speed Bump concerns and noise at night24/7
We are residents of an estate on Bromyard Avenue in Acton, West 3 London, currently managed by your company since April of last year. While we do appreciate that some aspects of the estate are being handled well — such as the cleaning — there is a serious issue that needs urgent attention. Recently, a speed bump was installed in a specific area without any prior consultation with leaseholders or residents. This was done without warning, and many of us believe this was unauthorised. Although Richard from Berkeley has confirmed that he agreed to the installation, we still believe this action was improper. As far as we understand, a managing agent is not permitted to independently make traffic management decisions that affect the estate’s residents in this way. This speed bump has had negative and dangerous consequences: • Cars are now driving onto the pavement to avoid the bump — which has resulted in near-accidents, including one where I was nearly hit. • Residents living near the bump are subjected to loud, jarring noise every time a car goes over it. • Despite multiple complaints, management has refused to remove or adjust it. We are calling on Gary Cane to step in and help resolve this issue. We also ask that you liaise with the on-site manager, Abdul Aziz, who has mentioned concerns about his own working conditions — including being underpaid and not compensated for overtime. This matter is urgent, and we are requesting a full review and a direct response. The safety and well-being of residents is important.
