Summary
Mr C lives in a top floor tenement flat in a close which was the subject of three statutory notices. He was aggrieved that after scaffolding had been erected and the scope of the works had been extended, the council had failed to consult independent engineers. He also considered that conservation measures had not been taken in respect of chimneys, that best value had not been obtained, the front chimneys were damaged and that lack of adequate supervision had lead to an increase in costs.

This complaint is one of a number of cases that the SPSO has closed because of an ongoing external review. The council have committed to reconsidering this complaint if the complainant remains dissatisfied following the conclusion of the external review.
