Mr. Ivan Grimes:

In common with most local authorities, the greatest demand on the housing list is for one-bedroom accommodation in particular, as well as two-bedroom accommodation. Without harking back to the repair and lease scheme too often, it has been fruitful for us in delivering one- and two-bedroom accommodation. We have focused on smaller apartment developments rather than going hell for leather for multi-storey developments. We can make two- and three-storey developments work within the Department's ceilings. We have one scheme which is nearing completion in the city with a combination of one- and two-bedroom accommodation. We factored delivery of one- and two-bedroom accommodation into our capital programme and we have supplemented that with the repair and lease scheme.
