Service Charges

EDM number 1381 in 2007-08, proposed by Bob Russell on 22/04/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Housing and Social rented housing.

That this House registers with extreme concern the tendencies of monopolistic companies to impose high service charges on residents to pay for maintenance costs over which they have little or no say; draws particular attention to the performance of Mitie in respect of former Ministry of Defence houses at Colchester which have been sold by Annington Homes; believes that residents should have the right to choose which companies should be engaged to provide maintenance services, and what these services should comprise; and calls on the Government to institute a full inquiry into the levying of service charges with a request that the performance of Mitie and Annington Homes should be the subject of a specific investigation.

This motion has been signed by a total of 34 MPs.
