A few weeks ago I published an article setting out plans to carry out repair works following a flooding incident at Primrose Court in Blackhall Colliery. Please follow this link for background details: https://robcrute-blackhall.blogspot.com/2023/01/update-on-fridays-flood-at-primrose.html
Believe Housing, who own and operate the building, have been carrying out remedial works since then. However I was made aware by residents and their families earlier this week that there were still a few outstanding issues to be addressed.
I contacted Believe Housing earlier this week to ask for an update on progress with ongoing works to bring the building back to its original, pre-flood condition. In response I’m advised that officers were in Primrose Court yesterday reviewing all works to date and assessing the remaining works to be carried out. Consequently I’ve been assured that works are nearing completion, with an estimated date of 21 April pencilled in for works to be signed off.
I’ll continue to liaise with Believe Housing officers until works are finally completed to the satisfaction of the residents. In the meantime if any resident or their families have any specific concerns about ongoing works at Primrose Court please get in touch with me at: rob.crute@durham.gov.uk and I’ll raise all issues with Believe Housing for their attention.
In addition I’ve been assured that officers are happy to visit residents on request to discuss any specific issues in more detail. Just let me know and I’ll pass your contact details on to Believe Housing.
