A number of residents in a housing estate in Offaly have lost patience with the social housing company which runs the estate, and a number of local politicians are acting on their behalf.
Desmond Daly told the Tribune that the people who live in Chesterfield Close, Birr have been asking Respond Housing Association to carry out essential works on their dwellings for the last five years but nothing has happened.
Des said there are eight apartments and twenty-five houses in Chesterfield Close. In 2014, he pointed out, Respond installed an Air to Water scheme in the estate. This is a great scheme which gives the houses hot water. At the time, they said they would return in 2015 to draught-proof the doors and windows of the houses and apartments but since then there has been one excuse after another and they haven t returned.
