How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

recent changes in management have become a growing concern among residents. Decisions appear to be made without seeking or considering resident feedback, leading to frustration and a declining level of confidence in the management process. Conversations with staff across different areas of the development also suggest that many employees share similar concerns with some expressing uncertainty about the direction of management and the way decisions are being communicated and implemented. This apparent lack of consultation and transparency has contributed to an increasing sense of disconnect between management, staff, and residents, undermining trust and confidence within the community
