Supporting the Residents of the Victoria Square Apartments
That this Assembly notes the distress, disruption, and financial difficulties faced by the residents of the defective Victoria Square apartments; agrees that residents should not be forced to pay for the mistakes of developers or for poor planning decisions; believes that affected residents should be entitled to a rates rebate and full refund on their properties; appeals to residents experiencing similar issues in potentially defective properties to come forward and report their concerns; calls on the Executive to put in place a financial package to cover any associated legal or other costs for residents; and further calls on the Executive to establish a cross-departmental task force to investigate the problems associated with the Victoria Square apartments and to hold those responsible to account.
