What the petition asks
Government needs to stop the scam that is the buildings service charges on flats and multi-dwelling buildings.
The fix is easy.
All buildings services contracts should go up for a renewal bidding periodically. Three-yearly would be appropriate.
Only permit increases within inflation.

Services are famously poor and charges rising out-of-control and accountability is weak and expensive to pursue as a customer.
