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.
The technology, which can track temperature, humidity and Co2, will initially be installed in approximately 2000 homes, including sheltered housing, multi storeys and priority properties who have existing damp or mould issues.
Other actions being taken by the local authority include the development of a revised process for dealing with concerns about damp and mould, which will see dampness inspections carried out a maximum of two days after an issue is raised.
