A third council building has had to be partially closed to the public in West Lothian because of the danger of roof collapse and failing Siporex concrete panels.
Council officers have been monitoring nine buildings where Siporex roof panels had been identified in 2019. Some remedial work had been carried out in the roof of the games hall at Fauldhouse Partnership but it has now emerged that further water ingress and weakened the structure of the repaired panels and present danger to the public.
The games hall in the Partnership has been closed until the repairs can be completed. The work to repair the roof is set to cost in excess of £720,000, a meeting of the Council Executive heard this week.
