Residents in Wigston, Leicestershire, are expressing frustration over management fees charged by FirstPort for maintaining a local pond, totaling over £9,000 annually for the estate. Homeowners Karen and Tony Stokes, among others, are challenging the high costs attributed primarily to management fees rather than actual maintenance. The situation has drawn attention from MPs, highlighting broader issues with the ‘fleecehold’ model that forces homeowners to rely on private firms for property management.
