It seems like the poor performing staff from all their London offices is sent of to this zone 3 'Alcatraz' where nothing normal rules, curtesy and promptness are clearly not amongst the values they share. Not only from a tenants perspective but also as a Landlord would I not be happy if my property is left to decay by letting necessary complaints for repair sit untouched for 5 weeks s ...
