The Dundee City Council has approved £21.6m for RAAC repairs over five years, but private homeowners remain financially vulnerable due to concerns over insurance, mortgages, and property values.

Dundee City Council has approved £21.6m for RAAC repairs over five years. But private homeowners could still face bills, with concerns over insurance, mortgages and property values. The Dundee RAAC Campaign Group has put forward serious proposals. The Scottish and UK Governments must work with the council to fund a comprehensive solution. Residents didn’t create this problem and shouldn’t be left to shoulder the cost.

I raised Dundee’s RAAC crisis at First Minister’s Questions yesterday. Dundee City Council has approved £21.6 million for repairs over the next five years, but that doesn’t answer the big questions facing homeowners about costs, insurance, mortgages and the future value of their homes. Dundee RAAC Campaign Group has put forward serious proposals for a proper solution. Scottish and UK Governments need to work with the council to make sure everyone affected gets the support they need.
