No meeting tonight

It was agreed at the last tenants meeting that the group should meet again today, Thursday 15th February, to discuss progress.

At present there is no progress to report. Emaar's PR bods have been busy telling the newspapers that they are offering concessions and sweeteners, but as anyone who has seen the newspapers will realise, they are offering nothing more than was originally suggested and nothing that eases the plight of the affected tenants.

We still hope that the letters to prominent and influential local figures will yield results. But as yet, there appears to be no change in Emaar's position that it wants to sell all the affected apartments by the end of February at current market prices.

It appears too that there are also plans to sell off other Emaar leased properties in the Lakes in a similar fashion once the Greens tenants' homes have been dispatched. So this story may well have implications for far more people than it currently appears to affect.

We will post more news when available.
