Housing Executive tenants in Mid and East Antrim will face delays to move into new properties until a new contractor is appointed.
The contract with the Housing Executive's repairs contractor in the area came to an end on April 30, and a new one will not be appointed for a number of months, so that commencement of tenancy repairs and non-emergency work cannot be carried out.
The relative of someone currently on the housing waiting list in the Mid and East Antrim area, said that this is causing a lot of frustration as people are having to wait even longer than normal to move into a new home they are due to be allocated.
