The chairman of Douglas’s housing committee has defended the authority’s record on maintenance after a colleague said it was ’unacceptable’.
Claire Wells was responded to questions from Councillor Sam Hamer as the council published its figures for the second quarter of 2020/21.
Throughout the second quarter the council managed to carry out an average 57.3% of emergency, urgent and routine repairs within the target time. On average 76.7% of void properties, including those requiring major works, were completed within the specified programme.
Mr Hamer said the figures were ’unacceptable’ and asked Mrs Wells if the council’s targets were ’unachieveable’.
