Kerry Mackintosh says the Scottish Government needs to foot the bill for repairs
A campaigner who spent 18 years fighting for a new home after hers was condemned for a crumbling concrete roof has warned that the problem extends far wider than schools and public buildings – and insisted the Scottish Government would have to foot the bill for repairs.
From 2021 the council has had a rolling programme of checking for RAAC following its discovery in the Lanthorn Community Centre in Livingston. And she argued that the government will have to pay for the repair and rebuild of not just public buildings but council homes across the country which may have used the roofing material – also known as Siporex.
Kerry and her neighbours in Deans South fought for proper compensation for 18 years. The council estate, built by Livingston Development Corporation, was condemned in 2004 and tenants quickly moved out.
