Pilot project aims to make homes safe from faulty concrete

by Miles

A £500,000 pilot scheme to tackle dangerous concrete in five council homes in Dundee is set to begin next month.

It is hoped that remedial work on the houses containing reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC) could be a "test bed" for tackling other affected properties in the city.

Almost 900 households in Dundee, the highest number in Scotland, are believed to contain the substance, which was used in flat roofing, floors and walls between the 1950s and 1990s.

The proposal will go before councillors next week.
