RMG Update for Residents 06/04/2025
RMG Update for Residents January 2025

 

We would like to provide you with an update regarding our ongoing engagement with RMG, the current managing agent for the estate.

  • The meeting RMG were scheduled to attend on 4th April was cancelled by them, and no alternative date has been proposed at this time.
  • Some additional maintenance work has been carried out on the estate recently, including the removal of moss from the footpaths and completion of edging. While we cannot confirm, this may be linked to the previously scheduled visit by Jemma. However, several outstanding issues remain unresolved, including the replacement of dead plants and the topping up of bark in landscaped areas.
  • The Beehive sign has now been repaired, following damage caused by RMG’s gardening contractor.
  • RMG had committed to calling an Annual General Meeting (AGM), which has not yet taken place. They also stated there would be quarterly meetings with residents—these have also not occurred.
  • We have requested information on the areas due for handover from the developers so that these can be inspected prior to transfer; however, no details have been provided so far.
  • Additionally, we have asked for a breakdown of recent expenditure, and we are still awaiting the annual accounts for the period ending December 2024. Note that these accounts are legally required to be distributed to all owners by the end of June.

We are continuing to pursue a proposed amendment to the Articles of Association for Wrexham Road Management Company. The aim is to remove the current requirement that 50% of owners must agree in order to replace RMG. This change would not trigger immediate removal but would instead make future change possible and more practical as the estate continues to grow.

 

In the coming weeks, residents can expect to be contacted as we begin collecting proxy forms in support of this proposal.

 

Thank you for your continued engagement and support.

Kings Moat Residents’ Association met with RMG in late 2024 to address concerns, including instances of overcharging and inadequate service. As a result, we secured a rebate for all accounts.

Additionally, we received assurances that certain costs will not increase in the near future.

KMRA remains committed to ensuring that RMG only assumes responsibility for land that is in a suitable condition for handover and that RMG provide the services they are being paid to deliver, without unjustified charges.

We are also actively working to remove restrictive clauses that prevent us from selecting an alternative management agent if RMG fails to meet expectations in the future.

Developers

Kings Moat Residents’ Association has successfully campaigned for the installation of speed limit and private parking signs. We are actively collaborating with the developers to ensure they meet residents' needs, fulfil their commitments, and provide clear timelines for key developments, allowing us to keep residents informed.

Traffic

Kings Moat Residents’ Association collaborated with local groups and leaders, including our MP Aphra Brandreth, to campaign for a change to the speed limit on Wrexham Road. We have had some success with a  temporary speed limit coming into force and we are continuing to support the Wrexham Road Travel Plan working group, to try and improve other aspects of the road, such as access to the nursery.

Sage

Kings Moat Residents' Association hold regular meetings with Sage to ensure they maintain a high standard of service for their properties. This includes addressing issues such as repairing damaged bin store doors and fixing broken lighting in common areas promptly and effectively.

Kings Moat is within the parish boundary of Dodleston Parish Council.

Thanks to Parish Council support, our communities can stay connected and informed.
