Communal repairs
Cllr Mammatt queried whether the target time of 52 weeks allocated to jobs
was correct. Mr Tune explained that very few jobs were allocated a 52
week target and that the time allocation stopped the generation of letters
(e.g. tenant feedback forms). Cllr Mammatt noted that a repair was logged
four months ago and little progress had been made to resolve the matter.
Ms Panton-Chapman claimed that there was a waiting list for garages at
New Chapel Square even though many were empty.
Action: Mr Tune to provide the Void maintenance spend at the next
meeting.

work.
Action: Mr Kamara to confirm garage query on New Chapel Square.
