SDLP Derry councillor Shauna Cusack has welcomed Housing Executive plans to carry out “external cyclical maintenance” works in the Barrs Lane area of the city in September.
Ms Cusack said: “It was during a routine call on constituents in Hazelbank that we were asked by a number of residents for help in securing maintenance for the area.
“Many Housing Executive properties are in need of exterior maintenance including the repainting of properties.
“After approaching the Housing Executive to see if they could facilitate with these requests, we are delighted to confirm that these ECM jobs are on schedule to be started in September.
“Naturally these projects are always subject to funding but we are hopeful there should be no delays.
“I would like to commend the NIHE staff for responding so positively to this issue.
“The residents and I look forward to seeing these much needed improvements in the area.”
