Pembrokeshire County Council’s building maintenance team will be reverting to carrying out emergency repairs within occupied properties only during the 17-day Welsh Government ‘fire-break’ which starts on Friday evening (October 23).

The service is particularly affected by the guidance around working in people’s homes.

Essential work such as the servicing of gas boilers and checking electrical installations will also continue.

The service has previously been carrying out emergency and Priority One repairs.

Team members working in the response unit will be on stand-by at home available to be deployed to emergencies while remaining operatives will be re-deployed to other work.
