Comment	I have contacted Glasgow City Council, Environmental Health, could name the guy I’m that familiar with his name in my email folder. They ain’t doing anything visible and know the history of the blocks. Covid been a barrier. The problem is common area, building needs clad, also missing insulation in key parts. Biggest problem is that owners and secure tenants are divided by legislation. I’ve got an option to visit a tribunal, a court, and a secure tenant only a right Scottish Public Service Ombudsman and they are waste of time, hold no skills or qualifications on the matter. Pointless just resolving my specific problem when it’s block wide. I did have a RICS, Defects Report, identify damp and now the plaster is off the wall it is clear to view it’s from the outside, structural. I too get stuffy nose, goodness what additional health problems await. Does certainly blunt educational study having waste hours in a day writing and replying none sense emails. Glasgow City Council, Housing Regeneration Services, could sort this out in few minutes using the Housing Act, and Below Tolerable Standards, fill out a document or two, send Scottish Ministers, gain signature, force every owner comply with upgrade works. Plenty of historical evidence of damp going back 1980. Does the specific employee care? Not one jot far I ascertain. Cannot believe we are living 2021, and it’s as GCC, time stood still and it’s 1950, or earlier and the slums of Glasgow, remain? Worse I cannot even slag-off of the tories they been very helpful in this matter. Did the world flip one day and I missed the event? Green Party taken their mantle?
