QUESTION NO.24

QUESTION: Councillor D. O'Donovan

To ask the Manager how many SDCC houses have windows boarded up?

REPLY:

 

Across the Council stock there are 46 properties which are vacant, most undergoing works for reletting and a number are secured. The total vacancy in the County represents 0.48% of the total Social Council Housing Stock.  The reasons for the vacancy vary but include re-let, unsecured temporarily vacant properties eg where the tenant is hospitalised and the house is vulnerable and abandoned units. Units that are secured if particularly vulnerable and have been subject of some anti social activity
