SHEPHERD'S
GLEN
Residents of the Shepherd's
Glen Development in the Waterside area of Londonderry automatically
became shareholders when they bought their houses, which means they
have certain rights in relation to the running of their area. But
with rights comes resposibility.
The problem for the residents
of this development, of about two hundred houses, is that they don't
appear to have much of either at the moment. Every resident received
a letter from a company called Property Management Ireland Limited,
who were appointed by the developers (McCormick Properties) to take
over the management of the new development.
However the new company is
looking for £110 from each householder to cover such things
as grass cutting and tree maintenance. However if they don't pay
up, a debt collection agency will be brought in and the householder
will be liable for the court costs.
The residents are quite annoyed and are challenging the demands
from the company.
