Following my continuous representation to have all works in Foxborough Estate, Lucan completed, would the Manager now bring forward his plans, including time-scale for these works, given the Manager's Report that the Developer was not issued with a Completion Certificate and if necessary the Manager's intentions to pursue this matter through the necessary legal channels.
