MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE
Wednesday, December 09, 2015
MOTION NO. 10
MOTION: Councillor F. Timmons
Cathaoireleach’s Business
“That this Committee asks SDCC to look at and deal with the following Housing issues (Houses listed 1-11) as a matter of urgency”
REPORT:
The Maintenance issues raised by the Councillor have now been entered on the Housing Maintenance system and will be inspected shortly. Any works that are Council responsibility will be carried out.
Access to properties to carry out surveys and repairs has been an ongoing issue in this area. In the cases of 2 of the properties numerous unsuccessful callouts have been made to gain access. The inspector will continue to try to gain access to these properties but it would be useful if the tenants contacted the inspector by phone when they receive a card in the letterbox.
The question of overcrowding/unsuitability of accommodation should be taken up with the Allocation Section in the first instance. They have reported that only 2 of the tenants above have made a transfer request and 9 have not. In addition 7 tenants have not made a medical submission or have provided insufficient information.
A full reply in relation to the items raised by the Councillor will be forwarded shortly.
