Residents of several blocks of “neglected” flats in Paisley have handed in a petition to a housing association calling on them to address problems related to claims of asbestos and harmful bacteria within the properties.
Those living in the flats on Glen Street claim to have a range of problems including rusting electrical equipment, faulty washing machines, and potential legionella – a harmful bacteria which can cause a serious type of pneumonia called Legionnaires’ disease.
Tenants’ union Living Rent say it has garnered signatures from 65 per cent of the residents at the six blocks managed by Linstone Housing Association (LHA).
