QUESTION NO 3.

QUESTION: Councillor M. Duff

To ask will the Manager make an updated report to this Council on how many houses have had window replacements in this current financial year and detail how many houses, which are already inspected and graded 5, are awaiting replacement windows?

REPLY:

To date in 2011, works under the window and door replacement have taken place in 126 homes in the County. A further 37 homes have had the works priced and have been issued to the contractor for completion in 2011. A further 24 homes are awaiting pricing on respective works and it is expected that they will be completed in 2011 also.

There is a waiting list of 329 homes where the windows/doors are graded 5, which is the rating given to the poorest quality of windows and doors.  A further 151 homes have windows graded from 1 to 4.

There are 296 requests from tenants for inspection of windows and doors with a view to replacement. These inspections are continuing and the number of units to be completed in 2012 will depend on funding available and provided for in the 2012 housing budget. 

There were 203 completions under the scheme in 2010.
