Homeowners were moved out of their flats almost a year ago after a survey showed that RAAC was found to be in poor condition in three blocks of flats, containing 30 homes. These buildings were declared unsafe.

The affected buildings were 75-97 Chapelle Crescent, 6-22 Park Street and 35-51 High Street, all in Tillicoultry.

The written update, which has also been provided to elected members, provides residents with a range of options to consider for the future of the properties.

Allowing for residents to sell off their properties at valuations from before the RAAC was detected is said to be among the options being considered.

A report on these options will be brought to the council in the near future.

Councillor Jane McTaggart, spokesperson for housing and property, said: “I am pleased that affected local residents have been given a written update on this challenging situation. The council continues to recognise this is a worrying time for those concerned and can confirm that there is ongoing communication with those affected by RAAC and their representatives.

“We will continue to provide appropriate support and updates where available to those directly affected.”
