Homeowners in Livingston have accused one of West Lothian's biggest Housing Associations of "hiding" from the crumbling concrete crisis that has hit homes in Livingston.
Speaking after the meeting on Thursday night Ashleigh Mitchell, who chairs the local home-owners association told the Local Democracy Reporting Service: " I am extremely disappointed in Almond Housing Association because that's now the second big meeting being held in Craigshill and they didn't even show up to their own community."Some residents left early because of this disappointment and frustration.
"We really hope he will visit West Lothian as an urgent housing crisis matter and engage with the council and Almond Housing Association of how serious this matter about RAAC actually is." " We need to find a solution. It's not acceptable in modern Scotland to leave people in homes which are decaying or where they don't feel safe."
He added: "It was however, extremely disappointing that Almond Housing Association did not attend despite being requested to do so. To not turn up to the meeting showed only disdain for the concerned home-owners.
