Getting housing repairs prioritised
Cllr Liam Calvert has been working with residents to make sure that their council homes are in a good state of repair
We have been receiving a lot of reports from residents who have had repairs held up by the Labour controlled City Council, for reasons they can’t understand.
Cllr Calvert says: “Often it is hard to know what has caused the delay, but by talking to the council officers involved we have been able to get a good number of issues resolved.”
Green Party Councillors have been challenging the City Council on issues around quality of work, poor communication and delays, urging them to introduce a properly functioning system for managing their contractors. £23m of the housing budget was left unspent whilst damage went unrepaired.
