We last reported the decaying condition of – long term empty property – 9 Bradley Drive in March.

There has been a catalogue of delays in bring the singe bedroom property back into use but we understand that the Council have now finally gained possession of the property.

The house contents have been removed and the property has been screened against access. New windows and doors are to be fitted.

It is expected that tenants choice contractors will start work before the end of the month with a new tenant likely to move in towards the end of May.
