Hide AdColr. Cooper said as he understands the issues identified could take eight weeks to resolve.
He said: “There is an issue with some of the infrastructure in the flats that has caused the gas to be closed off as a precaution. This is something Habinteg has inherited.
“Alternative arrangements are currently being put in place while the gas is off. I understand this will be the case for eight weeks to allow the appropriate works to be completed. I hope the alternative arrangements will meet the satisfaction of residents.”
The Journal has tried to contact Habinteg after business hours on Monday evening but the office was closed for the day.
