MOTION NO. 4

MOTION: Councillor W. Carey

This committee agrees that SDCC should examine the extent and cause of water pooling in gardens of tenants of Corkagh Grange and offer a solution to the problem that exists here.

REPORT:

Further to reports from a small number of tenants at Corkagh Grange, the Council met with the Facilities Management Company who are charged with the maintenance of this estate in September 2023.  

It was discussed about the number of possible influences which could impact the gardens and that the causes can vary in each individual case including blocked drains, inclement weather, and garden usage and keeping of pets.

To ensure the matter can be addressed a letter was sent to all tenants at Corkagh Grange in October advising that maintenance issues can be reported directly to the Facilities Management Company for assessment.

The Council will work with the Facilities Management company to continue to investigate the matter and is committed to working with the residents to provide support.
