Please provide the following data regarding building repair backlog in schools:
1) The number of repairs which have been done to all schools managed by the local authority in each financial year since 2018/2019.
– The number of these repairs which were done due to issues with mould.
– The number of these repairs which were done due to issues with asbestos.
2) How much was spent on school building repairs since in each financial year since 2018/2019.
Please see information held by Devon County County in the table below.
The numbers shown are Local Authority managed projects and therefore do not include any projects run or paid-for by The School.
To obtain these numbers, we searched our project database for key words in the project name. As a result, the data returned is for projects where the main project driver was damp, mould or asbestos, which is our understanding of the request.
The numbers of projects due to issues with damp has been included, as this is potentially a proxy for mould.
