The Director of Resources & Housing approved the use of a restricted tender process using Constructionline to undertake a procurement process leading to the appointment of a specialist contractor to carry out priority repair works to external facades of the high rise blocks

Leaseholders will be consulted in line with legislation.  Local ward members and residents for the blocks involved will be engaged and consulted in relation to planned works.
