Council house repairs to restart in Dundee

Council house repairs to restart in Dundee

Anne Rendall

Routine reactive repairs to council houses in Dundee which were suspended earlier this year due to COVID-19, will restart this week.

From today, Dundee City Council will start repair work that was not possible over the spring and summer months.

Anne Rendall, convener of the council’s neighbourhood services committee, said: “During the difficult days of complete lockdown we were presented with a unique set of circumstances which meant that we couldn’t do the routine repairs we would usually make to our tenants’ homes.

“So the fact that we are now able to bring back this service is a positive part of our overall recovery plan that I am sure will be welcomed by tenants across the city.”

Since the outbreak of COVID-19 and the subsequent lockdown, it has only been possible to undertake emergency and urgent repairs in tenants’ homes.

The re-introduction of the non-urgent aspects of the repairs service will continue to be monitored.
