Surveying (Major Repairs)

From time to time the Council may need to gain access to your home or business premises to undertake surveys.   This could be done for a number of reasons:

• where your home is part of a `joint use' building. eg., flat over Council owned shop;
• prior to major repairs being undertaken on Council owned buildings;
• to update Council records on the condition of its stock;
• to carry out specialist surveys, for example to identify the presence of asbestos containing materials etc.

Should the Council need to gain access to your property to undertake survey work the surveyor will carry identification or should have a pre-arranged appointment.   Do not allow any person into your home if they do not carry the relevant identification.  

From time to time the Council may carry out major repairs in public places or to public buildings.   The Council will give  notice of restricted access resulting from such work.
