In heading theRMC, Sue acts as a point of contact between the 1,056 leasehold propertiesandmanaging agent Consort Property Management. Sue is also a local borough and town councillor. She says: “Imoved to
IngressPark10years ago. I’ve always had an interest in buildings andtheirmanagement havingworked in facilities management for the London Boroughof Greenwich. “When
I retired it seemed logical to putmore time
55
into themanagement of myown neighbourhood. It really is importantfor residents to feel that any issues are being dealt with effectively,especially on such a large site, and good communicationisvital for this. “Given that thiswas a
newdevelopment, with a wide mix of residents,we’ve been very proud to have builtasense of community here. The quarterlyRMC meetings don’t take too much
ofmytime, andareworth the effort to ensure the smooth running of the site. It is quite aresponsibility making certain that the voice of residents is heard, but having residents directly involved in themanagement of a block is the bestway to ensure that they arehappy with theway their service charges arespent.”
