Management company to meet with Mallusk residents after concerns raised about 'No Ball Games' signage

Ballyclare-based Gordon Estates Management, who were appointed management agents for the development in 2023, are set to meet with the local community to address the issues surrounding the recent erection of the signage in the Blackrock Square area.

Members of the public took to social media after the signage was put in place to voice concerns and question where their children could play.

Responding to the Newtownabbey Times on September 19, Christopher Gordon of Gordon Estates Management stated: “At the last two AGMs residents had raised concerns regarding anti-social behaviour.

"Over the past two months, we’ve received complaints from residents regarding property damage from ball games which has prompted the erection of temporary signage.

"This will be brought for further discussion at an onsite meeting within the next few weeks to allow for further debate amongst those affected.

"Each owner when purchasing their property signed up to a list of covenants, including, ‘Will not do any act or thing on the lands comprised in this transfer which will or may be or become a nuisance, damage, annoyance or inconvenience to the registered owner or the company or the occupiers of any adjoining property.’

"We can appreciate as agents that not all residents will agree and a consensus may not be reached. However, we hope this will serve as a reminder for residents to work in collaboration and become actively involved in the management of the development so concerns can be addressed swiftly and with resolution.”
