Description

Residents of Gallant House, a new apartment building in Altrincham, are grappling with serious issues such as malfunctioning lifts, non-working fire alarms, and faulty security doors, raising safety concerns and antisocial behavior. The building, managed by L&Q, has been plagued with these problems since its completion two years ago. Local councilor Dan Jerrome has brought attention to these issues, inviting another council member to visit the site. Residents like John Heraghty and Oliva have expressed frustration over the unreliable lifts, particularly for elderly residents. L&Q has acknowledged the problems, apologized, and promised to address the issues. The council is also working to resolve the matter with six remaining leaseholders in old New Street blocks, who have not yet agreed to move, delaying plans for new affordable housing.
