QUESTION NO. 2

QUESTION: Councillor W. Lavelle

"To ask the Manager for a detailed update on the taking-in-charge of The Paddocks estate, including the status of efforts to secure completion of snagging works, permanent replacement of temporary public lighting and boundary treatment works, in particular with respect to providing an attractive boundary treatment to Dodsboro Cottages/Tandys Lane?"

REPLY:

There has been considerable discussion regarding the Taking In Charge (TIC) of The Paddocks with the Receiver and Liquidator over the summer. To this end CCTV survey work of the foul and storm water sewer systemes began this week and we anticipate it being complete in about 2 weeks. In parallel to this construction is expected to recommence on the 5 dwellings at the end of the Paddocks and this will enable to complete road surfacing works in the area. Our Public Lighting section will be surveying the remaining section of paddocks view not yet TIC and preparing a snag list (if appopriate) for remedial action by the Receiver.

The remainder of the lands may be disposed of in the near future and it is hoped that this will lead to their development with corresponding improvements in the boundary appearance.
