SINN Féin MLA Raymond McCartney has indicated that an Exterior Cyclical Maintenance scheme will be carried out by the Housing Executive in Barr’s Lane this summer.
Mr. McCartney said: “Housing Executive residents in Barr’s Lane have been enquiring for a period of time as to when maintenance work will be carried out on the exterior of their homes.
“It is my understanding that the ECM scheme is now scheduled to come into Barr’s Lane this summer once the Housing Executive has completed work in the Shantallow area.
“Work will include exterior painting, front and rear door replacement, servicing of double glazing, roof tiles, gutters, gates and fencing.
“I welcome this much needed scheme and I will be working with residents and the Housing Executive to ensure that the work is carried out as quickly and efficiently as possible,” he added.
