Parkside, SE17

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Area is in process of redevelopment so it is unstable due to constant construction, displaced previous community, anti social behaviour and transient wealthy transplants that all coexist in a very small area. While there is a decent artificial park and selection of chain restaurants, there are worries regarding safety due to rife phone theft problem and mental health issues of certain community members. Development is in a convenient location for transportation but it is a central area which means it is noisy and busy.

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

Management has been extremely dismissive and standoffish until you do extortionate amount of work to prove them wrong, and even then they find ways to skip answering, avoid admitting fault, providing partial solutions without any accountability. When we were locked and stuck in a lift for 90 minutes, despite security guard writing down our flat number and having had maintenance to let us out, there was no management follow up and they managed to find a way to blame it on us as they weren't informed while their own systems of protocol failed. They always try to have both realities exist - you being wrong and them pretending that they also acknowledge that they could have helped you if you only just did this... Basically they have no capacity to say 'we are sorry we missed this, let us fix it'. It is like dealing with someone who has narcissistic personality disorder.
