29JanUpdate - Damage After Storm EowynAs a result of the storm, we sustained damage to the roofs of over 80 properties, most of them tenements. In addition to this there are a great deal of fences and some trees that were blown down.
We are concentrating our efforts in the first instance to repairing the roofs but will get to the fences and clear fallen trees from land we maintain as soon as we can.
We would like to thank you in advance for your patience and reassure you that our repairs service is operating as normal.
