I am requesting the following information under the Freedom of Information Act.
My preference is that questions 2-8 should be limited to repairs specifically concerning people’s homes – excluding repairs to fences and garages, for example. However, if such exclusion is not possible within the section 12 cost limit, please include all logged repairs and specify that this is the case.
Questions 2-8 do not include scheduled routine/cyclical maintenance work, unless that work has been delayed beyond its original schedule.
1. What is the total number of council housing (including ALMO) tenant households in the local authority area (excluding voids)?
2. How many council housing (including ALMO) tenant households are currently awaiting repair work on their council homes, as logged with the council (excluding voids)?
3. Of the figure in question 2, how many are logged as emergency repairs?
4. Of the figure in question 2, how many households have been waiting more than 28 days/a month (including those covered by questions 5 and 6)?
5. Of the figure in question 2, how many households have been waiting more than six months (including those covered by question 6)?
6. Of the figure in question 2, how many households have been waiting more than a year?
7. Please list the required repairs for the households covered by question 5, in detail if available. Please identify any which are logged as emergency repairs
8. Please list the required repairs for the households covered by question 6, in detail if available. Please identify any which are logged as emergency repairs
We do not hold this information in a reportable manner, this would exceed the cost of compliance (section 12) to manually interrogate the database and trawl through tens of thousands of emails, invoices, work orders etc.
