QUESTION NO.

QUESTION: Councillor M. Duff

"Can the Manager please advise this Area Committee of the number of one bed, older persons bungalows, in the Tymon/Tymonville/Aongus/Castle Lawns & Park areas, which are vacant for more than three months and what plans are there in place to allocate them?"

REPLY:

The Housing Maintenance and Refurbishment section undertake re-let works on vacant housing stock throughout the County to ensure stock is brought back into productive use for letting as soon as possible. The current turnaround time from the date a property is surrendered to the date it is allocated is 20.71 weeks.

There are currently two vacant, age-friendly one-bedroom bungalows in the areas mentioned. The Housing Allocations team is making every effort to identify suitable eligible applicants from the social housing waiting list to ensure these properties are allocated as soon as possible.
