In an earlier post we noted that for months, despite repeated phone calls to Stroud District Council made by several residents, the lights outside the entrance to Walter Preston Court had not been working.
Residents, some with mobility and eyesight problems, were afraid to return home after dark and – especially in winter – had to leave events early.
In future, problems should be addressed more rapidly, as Stroud District Council is switching to directly employed in-house labour instead of contractors.
They believe that council tenants will notice an improvement to the way their repairs are carried out from April 2020.
