I’m furious we have to foot untimely bill
I HAVE lived on this estate for nearly five years.
This debacle started before I’d even been handed the keys, and no mention was made of the possibility of getting a £2,000 bill in any search carried out by my solicitor.
I, like many neighbours, am appalled that the council expects me to stump up cash for works that I believe should be its responsibility.
I pay a bill each month for this service and I don’t understand why the council thinks it is acceptable to ask residents to cover additional costs.
My broadband provider doesn’t send me a bill if it needs to improve its cables, so why should I pay for repairs to pipes that the council appears to have allowed to get into a poor condition?
I don’t live in an affluent area — £2,000 is a lot of money. And to drop this on residents two weeks before Christmas is despicable.
