Concerns Rise Over RAAC Homes in Livingston Amid Ongoing Crisis

Livingston: Gregor Poynton MP is sounding the alarm about a serious issue with homes made from Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete, or RAAC. This problem is hitting hard in his area, especially in Chestnut Grove, Craigshill.

While there are plans to fix public buildings and social housing, private homeowners are really struggling. Many bought their homes thinking everything was fine, only to find out that their properties have lost a ton of value—some by as much as 50%. That’s a huge hit for anyone.

Poynton is reaching out to important groups like Almond Housing Association and the Scottish Government. He’s pushing for a team effort to help those who are really feeling the pinch from this situation.

He’s been clear about how serious this is for homeowners in Livingston. Poynton has asked for a debate in Parliament to get more attention on the issue, but he knows it’s a matter for the Scottish Government to tackle. He’s calling for a solid plan to help homeowners not just in Livingston, but all over Scotland.

If you’re a resident affected by this, Poynton wants to hear from you. You can email his office at Gregor.Poynton.MP@Parliament.UK. He’s dedicated to fighting for fair treatment and support for everyone impacted by this crisis.

Poynton promises to keep the community in the loop about any updates and is determined to make sure this issue gets the attention it deserves.
