Answer
This issue is an operational matter for the Housing Executive. I have sought the requested information from the Chief Executive, who has advised me as follows.
“The Housing Executive’s Ards & North Down Area Office boundary is coterminous with the Ards & North Down Local Government District, with premises in both Newtownards and Bangor.
There were 79 Housing Executive tenanted properties purchased under the House Sales Scheme within this LGD in the last 3 years, broken down as follows:
| NIHE tenanted properties sold under the House Sales Scheme | |||
| Financial Year | Bangor | Newtownards | Ards & North Down LGD |
| 2021/22 | 14 | 11 | 25 |
| 2022/23 | 11 | 23 | 34 |
| 2023/24 | 10 | 10 | 20” |
For any future queries relating to operational matters, you may wish to contact the Housing Executive directly. Making direct contact with the Housing Executive will ensure that you receive the information in the shortest possible timeframe and make best use of public resources.
