MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE (1)

MOTION NO.10

MOTION: Councillor C. King

"That the Manager provide a report outlining how many homes in Tallaght have had their windows and doors replaced under the windows and doors programme so far this year and how much of the fund has been spent to date overall and how much is left in the fund".

REPORT:

The window replacement programme commenced in 2010 and since that time 718 houses countywide have had windows/doors replaced.  393 or 56% of these replacements were in the Tallaght area.  The budget for the 2014 programme is €950,000 and the anticipated number of completions would be in the region of 160 countywide of which approximately 90 will be in the Tallaght area.   A total of €137,641 has been spent countywide to date and of that, €50,655 in the  Tallaght area.  The remaining fund is €716,358.

It should be noted that the list is live and added to each year through tenant contact.  The programme is operated by date of application, the rent account being in order i.e. either clear or tenant  adhering to an official arrangement for a minimum period of 6 months and having no anti social issues.   Priority is also given to applicants with serious medical conditions.  The Council is currently working on windows that were applied for and graded in 2010 and moving shortly onto those graded in 2011.
