Leaseholders' overcharged £160 each for Communal Lighting

In January 2010, leaseholders received their Actual Statements for the previous year's charges which must be paid in April 2010. These were over 4 months late. Leasehold Services told me that the reason for the delay was because they had been double-checking the Communal Lighting charges.
