One Resident said the Council has only offered
half the amount for his home. https://news.sky.com/story/hundreds-...fears-13200798 [Hundreds of homes in Aberdeen affected by potentially dangerous concrete are to be demolished on safety grounds and rebuilt at an expected cost of more than £150m. A total of 504 homes in the city's Balnagask area have been identified as having reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC) in their roof panels. Of the properties involved, 366 are council addresses and 138 are private. The alarm was raised in February following an inspection in 2023, with a recommendation to relocate council tenants to alternative accommodation "as soon as possible". The process of rehoming council tenants has been ongoing since then. At a meeting on Wednesday, councillors voted to begin the demolition process. Aberdeen City Council said the estimated demolition and landscaping work could cost between £20m to £25m and will take between three and four years.] |
