Two neighbours deciding we will have parking wardens and permits next year- and we have no say at all? Help!

We live on a private development of around 40 houses with lots of equally owned (and paid for) land.

Two of the neighbours volunteered as directors (unpaid) of the residents and sent letters in the week telling us we will be having traffic wardens and parking permits next year. They will also decide how many permits we are allowed.

Apparently only they can decide if this will happen. Is this correct they have the power to decide over anyone else as directors?

Really appreciate any help on this- thank you

Company limited by Guarantee = no shareholders
Quorum = the minimum needed to make a decision
it should normally be 1/3 of potential voters

anything that impacts on your right s to your property should be decided at an AGM with a proper published agenda to which every member (resident) is invited with good notice

Do you own your driveway land? Is it a management company who own the streets?

And the director who has previously owned a parking company cannot make decisions regarding hiring a parking company - it should be in the document you were sent - he will have a fairly clear conflict of interests, may have a pecuniary interest.

Have at them, enjoy yourself. It's a good way of getting to know your neighbours, if nothing else Smile
