Answer
The replacement of single pane windows is a matter for the Education & Library Board who has responsibility for planning maintenance programmes throughout the schools estate. The windows are listed for replacement as a maintenance backlog item at an estimated cost of £124k out of a total window backlog of £9.5m.
There are many schools throughout the Board’s estate with windows in a poor condition and the Board addresses window replacement schemes on a priority basis within the available resources.
I am therefore unable to give a definitive time frame for replacement single pane windows at Sunnylands Primary School, Carrickfergus.
