Just on this point, although the Estate Management now host quarterly meetings which all residents can attend, I am also looking to organise a similar meeting in January next year with your elected representatives. Once a date and venue have been fixed, they will be communicated here as well as by other means. 

I encouraged the Management last year to communicate directly with residents by e-mail (in addition to the traditional means of communication, not as a substitute) and I hope there is now some evidence that the necessary work has been done to enable this. It has proved very effective on the Barbican Estate, with a majority of homes now covered by the e-mail network. Is this now working?

Stefi - I hope this changes soon, I agree that e-mail should not replace other methods of communication, but the only issue holding things up was a software issue and some internal City of London delays, so I had been expecting by now there should be an e-mail system for Estate communications, with an invitation for residents to sign up to the service if they wish to do so.
