Council carries out mould and dampness surveys in Dumbarton sheltered housing

The future of a sheltered housing complex in Dumbarton remains unclear as West Dunbartonshire Council investigates the scale of dampness experienced by residents.

They are now looking for a couple of tenants to volunteer their homes for an invasive damp survey, which will monitor moisture in the walls and floors over a number of weeks. This means that replacement kitchen, bathrooms and windows have been put on hold. “I was expecting to have reached a master plan by now. When we spoke about the new builds in Willox Park we were very clear we were going to be bringing a report that was going to look at the value of retaining and upgrading the existing buildings or moving to potential demolition.

Mr Barry said: “One of the problems, which prevents us from producing a master plan is not understanding what the problem is.
