QUESTION NO. 6

QUESTION: Councillor D. Looney

"To ask the Chief Executive to ensure the repair of the wall at a location "Address supplied" given it poses a danger; to state the actions taken since this wall was reported to be dangerous, and to make a statement on the matter.

REPLY:

The wall at "Address supplied", was inspected by the Council's Clerk of Works, pursuant to the Local Government (Sanitary Services) Act 1964 as amended, on 12th June 2015. The wall was found to be in no immediate danger of collapse but would require works to be carried out to ensure its long term safety.

A letter was issued to the owner on 18th June 2015 requiring the removal of any loose rubble/debris and reinstatement of the wall to avoid risk to the public. 

A response was received from the owner on 23rd June 2015, advising the Council that the matter would be resolved within four weeks. 

However, follow up inspections have revealed that no works have been carried out.  Accordingly, a statutory notice pursuant to the Local Government (Sanitary Services) Act 1964, as amended, will be served on the registered owner of the wall in the coming days requiring the carrying out of certain works to alleviate any potential danger to the general public.
