Issues reported in west York today
Empty Chapelfields garage to be brought back into use after 12 month delay
Bramham Road empty garage
It looks like the long term empty garage in Bramham Road may finally be brought back into use.
It was reported as being empty and in need of repair over 12 months ago. Following a complaint about delays, repairs to the roof and stonework were completed.
The Council says that an order was placed with a local contractor to replace the door but the work was never completed.
It seems that no one followed this up until we reported the garage again a few months ago.
We’re now told that a new order for the door has been given to a contractor. It is expected to be repaired shortly and brought back into use in April.
There is a long waiting list of tenants in Chapelfields wanting to rent Council garages.
Nearby streets are sometimes choked with parked cars and there have also been ongoing delays in the provision of additional parking laybys on the estate.
Time for a clean up
Disappointing to see that the parking area on Bramham Road is full of detritus and weeds. Tree branches have been dumped and the boundary is obstructed by hedge growth. Doesn’t reflect well on the Councils housing department, who should inspect communal areas like this on a regular basis.
