In this regard the Department has recently received further correspondence from the Council setting out their requirements in advance of having the estate taken in charge and my officials are examining these at the present time. The Department is eager to progress this issue and will endeavour, in conjunction with the County Council, to have the matter resolved as soon as possible.
