SDLP Down District Councillor Gareth Sharvin has praised the Northern Ireland Housing Executive on the high volume of work they have recently carried out and continue to work on, in the Killough area.
The work which has been delivered and continues to be carried out on the homes, come from the back of representation by Councillor Sharvin and the meetings between Housing Executive officials and residents.
Local Bay Court resident, Monica Kelly said: "The new windows and doors are a great addition for making the home more warm, comfortable and safe."
Gemma Hill of Chapel View said: "I am thankful for the work NIHE have carried out on my home and the help Councillor Sharvin has provided. The house has needed the work for a while now and it is a vast improvement on my home."
Councillor Sharvin said: "The results speak for themselves and it’s a great display of commitment to the tenants from the Northern Ireland Housing Executive. A large number of homes have and continue to receive work throughout the village. The work carried out by Northern Ireland Housing Executive has included, new windows, new front and back doors, kitchen storage, drainage clearing, insulation testing, ceiling levelling’s and new garden gates.
"A number of tenants raised the issue of windows across all homes. I have received confirmation that the remaining homes in Killough are to receive this work on windows in the financial year of 2014-2015. This is due to the rotating and instalments of payments from DSD. There is also the factor of Northern Ireland Housing Executives housing to equally cover all areas throughout the Down District area. We must celebrate this future commitment and ensure it is being carried out."
