Homeowners at the office of the Scottish Housing Regulator

 Thirty members of the Save Our Homes campaign lobbied the Scottish Housing Regulator to seek justice for homeowners. The delegation visited the regulator’s offices and handed in a letter requesting a full investigation into the activities of Glasgow Housing Association and their alleged over-charging for home improvement works. The group were greeted by two police officers and a security guard who accepted the letter on behalf of Karen Watts, Chief Executive of the Scottish Housing Regulator. John Henderson from Bridgeton told Local News: ‘We have been billed £6,000 for drainage work at our property. We have also been told to remove doors and windows from the deck access flats which we added ourselves over twenty years ago. The deck access flats are vulnerable to intruders and the doors we added improve security and also help with insulation. Now we are threatened with court action to remove these improvements.’

Sandra White MSP said ’It is important that people have their concerns addressed at every level , that is why I was pleased to attend the meeting of homeowners recently and listen to what they had to say and assure them that all of their concerns would be handed over to the Housing Minister, Alex Neil, to be deal with. This I have done. I am confident that solutions to the many issues homeowners have raised with me will be found.’
