Fences damaged in the storms in February need repaired - but painting work has been done first
Broken fences have been painted rather than fixed say angry residents in Grangemouth , who are still waiting for repairs to damage done in February.
"There are other fences with slats missing and bits broken off the top and they have all just been painted! Paragon is currently carrying out work to paint the windows on the houses and say they do intend to repair the fences as soon as possible but have been delayed by bad weather and waiting for materials.
Mr Smith - who is a private resident - says the regeneration work is badly needed as the lack of repairs makes the whole area look run-down.A spokesperson for Paragon Housing Association said: "Within flatted blocks properties in Grangemouth, including the block Mr Paul Smith resides, a survey was carried out prior to the painterwork commencing.
"At the time, loose and dangerous fencing was taken down and left in a safe location for partial re-use at a later time where possible. Due to the extent of the storm damage particularly around fencing, a further measure of communal and non-communal works had to be undertaken. "This took approximately six weeks to turn around. Our appointed contractor has these timbers now and an initial first coat of timber treatment is being applied before going to site.
