This package included the idea of providing bridging loans for those facing court actions and at a recent meeting communities Scotland promised to implement this measure without delay.

Commenting Sandra White said:

“We have been fighting for something to be done for some time now and I’m glad that many people will now not have the added anxiety court action brings with it to deal with. However this problem has been left to grow for too long and it’s only been through continuing pressure that something has finally been done.

“I’m still waiting to hear the exact details of these measures and I am still concerned that the ‘loans’ will have to be repaid with interest. This piecemeal approach to the problem could in fact cause more uncertainty and worry for those already facing court action. I will continue to fight for Glasgow’s home owners to ensure that a thorough and co-ordinated approach is implemented”
