Dover District Council has awarded an interim responsive repairs and maintenance contract to Morrison.

The partnership, which commences in December is worth £1.6 million per annum and is for the provision of a range of repairs and maintenance services, including day-to-day responsive repairs, out of hours repairs and void maintenance services to council’s 4,600 properties across Dover, Deal and Sandwich.

Guy Wakeley, chief executive of Morrison said: “We are extremely pleased to have been awarded this new contract with Dover District Council and look forward to working with Dover to build upon our joint commitment to provide a first-class repairs service to residents.

“This new contract will be run alongside our existing partnership with Shepway District Council in Folkestone, which commenced in April and enables us to further strengthen our position along the Kent coast.”
