Call for more RAAC support

A campaign group is urging the Scottish Government to speed up support for RAAC-affected residents in Tillicoultry.

They've been out of their homes for more than two years after the substance was found.

A petition has also been presented to Parliament, calling for support for residents affected by RAAC.

The Scottish Government rejected a similar petition last week.

Wilson Chowdhry from the UK RAAC Campaign group met with Scottish Government officials last month.

After the meeting, he said:

"The meeting provided an opportunity to articulate concerns clearly and directly. However, on the core issues — a national fund and a Public Inquiry — there has been no policy shift.

Some commitments were made to provide written follow-up and to expedite specific funding requests. Whether those commitments translate into meaningful progress remains to be seen.

The crisis continues. And so must the campaign."
