Our friends at Regenter B3 have sent around a letter to all leaseholders threatening the next round of cyclical decoration works, which are due to begin next year.

Lewisham's annual report of the cowboy PFI contract has been published on the Council's website.

In their wisdom, Regenter has decided to set up a forum for leaseholders - we think this is about five years too late, but give them a chance... Copied from their new website www.regenterbrockley.com (incidentally, I'd be interested to know if anyone has been sent their PIN number - I asked for mine six weeks ago and have ...

2012

It has taken only five years of hard work, but Regenter B3, Lewisham Council's PFI agents, have finally managed to publish a website for the benefit of tenants and leaseholders. The link is here http://www.regenterbrockley.comDespite promises from Regenter B3, there is no reference to the Brockley Leaseholders' Association. No surprise there then, considering Regenter has 'forgotten' ...
