'This avoidable death should be a wake-up call.'
A total of £10 million will be invested in new sensors as part of a drive to eradicate mould in West Dunbartonshire council properties over the next five years.
A motion stating that “this avoidable death should be a wake-up call for all social housing providers including West Dunbartonshire Council, and local, regional and national housing associations” was unanimously agreed last December. “Energy efficiency and ventilation is really important so people can see that a light bit of action is taken at certain times of the day whether it’s cooking or cleaning and it won’t affect the energy efficiency and the limited budget we have.Councillor Michelle McGinty also said she wanted to thank officers for the work they have put into this.
“What you have done will make a real difference to the people that live within council homes in West Dunbartonshire.” Any repairs required following inspection will be categorised as urgent and carried out within 10 days, with follow up visits to determine whether the household has additional support needs including financial assistance.
