QUESTION NO.4
QUESTION: Councillor C. Jones
To ask the Manager how many unfinished developments there are in the County and what steps are being taken by the Council to ensure the completion of these developments?
REPLY:
In responding to the question, “unfinished” is assumed to be developments which have not yet been taken-in-charge by the Council as there are still works outstanding which are the responsibility of the developer.
