Look at Property Services

Photos are Paul and Sue discussing about how repairs are carried out and 3 photos of workers repairing fencing.

Paul and John's workplan for 2017 was looking at what Property Services do.

John and Paul met Sue Lawton Building Maintainance Manager regarding what Property Services do. Here's what we found out:

Fencing can be a difficult issue regarding whether fences are Council or the householder's responsibility. With the front of the house they see what work needs to be done on estate walkabouts but at the rear it is up to tenants to report.

At the moment the Council are reviewing fencing and I will update you when we have more information.
