Two historic Edinburgh housing blocks are set to benefit from a 'once-in-a-lifetime' retrofit due to damp and mould issues throughout.
Both Oxcars Court and Inchmickery Court, in Muirhouse, were built in the 1950s and due to their age, have shown a slow decline in structure and conditions in which residents are forced to live in.
Issues including a general lack of maintenance, the buildings age, design issues and construction methods, the two blocks are set for a huge refit instead of being demolished, although considerable construction work will take place including the enlargement of windows and balconies, as well as improved access to daylight.
