Jinks Avenue Remedial Works Scheme
Sligo Borough Council is happy to advise that the proposed Remedial Works Scheme for Jinks Avenue is soon to start. Jinks Avenue is a housing estate consisting of 100 No. houses, constructed circa 1941. The estate is in need of renewal and is a mix of houses which are in private ownership as well as those in the ownership of Sligo Borough Council. Proposals have been ongoing with the Department of the Environment, Heritage & Local Government for some time to progress a Remedial Works Scheme for Jinks Avenue. A comprehensive submission, following an open tender competition, was submitted by Sligo Borough Council to the Department of the Environment, Heritage & Local Government last year. Following approval of the Scheme by the Department this year, formal contract signing took place on Friday 4th May. The successful contractor for the project is McCann Brothers (Irl) Ltd. McCann’s have been involved in a number of similar schemes most notably the Garavogue Villas refurbishment in Sligo. The duration of the project is approximately 24 months. The Jinks Avenue Remedial Works Scheme is one of a number of Regeneration/Refurbishment and New Build Schemes which are currently being promoted by Sligo Borough Council and we are committed to delivering a high quality Remedial Works Scheme to the Jinks Avenue residents. Once improved, this estate will contribute significantly to the quality of the urban environment within Sligo city.
