Building services repairs update
Since the council's building services repairs service resumed non-essential internal works on the 17 May 2021, the service has continued to work on repairs which were postponed due to restrictions during the last lockdown and at the same time looked to carry out work on newly identified repairs.
This increase in works for the repair service has unfortunately meant that some non-emergency repairs might take longer than usual to complete. Tenants are asked for patience over this period as the service works to clear the backlog.
There have been instances where the service has been unable to successfully contact tenants to rearrange works which were postponed during the lockdown. These tenants will receive a letter asking to contact the council to arrange a suitable date. If you are contacted by the council via phone or letter then please follow the instructions provided to ensure your repair can be booked in as soon as possible.
If you haven't been contacted about an outstanding repair which was postponed during the Covid lockdown then please contact us on 01506 280000, selecting the option for Housing Repairs to get through to the appropriate team.
