IMPORTANT

Dear Friends and Members,

Geoff Gordge

It is with great sadness that I inform you of the passing of Geoff Gordge, our dedicated and long standing Chairman of the Park West Residents Association. Geoff had only recently resigned as chairman 13th July 2020 and true to his spirit was still actively serving in PWRA matters after that date.

The PWRA was formed 28th October 2009 out of a mutual resolution between the Landlord and a large group of leaseholders who were in a long standing, expensive and damaging High Court dispute. The PWRA objectives were to improve communications with the Landlord, service charge value, residential amenity at Park West for residents and above all to avoid further expensive and damaging litigation. Geoff stepped forward as Chairman and his contribution over the last eleven years has been both absolutely crucial and profound to those endeavours. Over those years Geoff made countless long distance trips with his dear wife Jean at their own expense in order to attend meetings with the Landlord and officiate at PWRA meetings. It is fair to say that he dedicated most of his retirement to serving the PWRA by engaging with the Landlords agents to make Park West a better place to live, improve relations with the Landlord and bring fair and professional scrutiny to service charge expenditure when and wherever required. As a friend and colleague he will be sorely missed by myself. No doubt many other volunteers who have served and dedicated time within the PWRA will feel the same.

Thank you Geoff for all of your determination, patience and hard work you have put into building up the PWRA. May you rest in peace with your Lord.

Yours sincerely,

Steve Willan

Secretary, PWRA

Unfortunately, we cannot give you or your solicitors any advice about your purchase decision as we are not empowered to do.
