Trinity Estate Charges - Pay or Dispute

Hi, does anyone live around Shinfield Meadows Estate and are forced to pay a maintenance charge its approximately around £330 for the year but I don't really see why I need to pay them, they do a bit of maintenance for the flats but that's about it and if I live in a house why should I be paying for the flats? I have raised this with our local MP Yuan Yang but I just get the standard responses saying its been raised in the parliment while I have been forced to pay these charges over the past 3 years - They don't even have a budget for 2026 but have sent me the invoice - how is this even possible? Seems like an utter scam to me. Also we are paying council tax and eventually the council needs to take over but they don't want to do that as it seems cause its too expensive for them to do so. Would like to know your thoughts, I was hoping all residents would get together and fight these charges.
