RESIDENTS at the chaos-hit Toryglen renovation works claim the situation is still in ‘turmoil’.

Housing bosses have had to admit that vital forms were signed by a staff member in error.

And the scaffolding is going back up on houses nearly two years after all works should have been finished.

As told in the Evening Times, energy-saving works in Toryglen should have taken 12 weeks to carry out and been finished in November 30 2016.

Now bosses at Thistle Housing Association say the works - carried out by energy firm E-on - will be completed by September.

The scheme at the 600 properties, paid for by council and Scottish Government funds to the tune of £8.5 million, was hit with delay after delay.

And residents said they are still not satisfied with the quality of the work carried out on their homes.

Houses in the area are currently being roughcasted again to repair poorly finished previous work.

But residents who live in flats said the work on their homes is in similar disrepair yet is not being looked at.

One resident, Ian Paterson, described the situation as “unbelievable turmoil”.

Mr Paterson added: “We have known that the flats have received exactly the same poor quality render and roughcast, done in the same fashion, using the same materials, by the same workforce and now exhibiting similar defects as the houses.

“It is much easier for a house owner or tenant to complain than residents of flats.

“Thistle Housing has and continues to ignore the complaints of any and all residents of flats, whether they be their own tenants or owners.

“Residents can’t afford to give up as, in a few years, when the poor workmanship displays itself more readily, it will all be too late and too expensive to fix.”

A spokeswoman for Thistle Housing Association said: “The major works contract has been completed within the terms of the contract with the exception of a small number of pre-identified homes with specific outstanding requirements.

“This final programme will be completed by September.

“As with all previous works this is being completed as part of the fixed price agreement with E-on and will not result in any additional cost to the Housing Association or its residents.”

Meanwhile, several residents, including one, David Crockwell, noticed staff member Linda Quinn signed their Minute of Agreement prior to the works starting as a witness but residents said Ms Quinn was not present when the documents were signed.

The spokeswoman for admitted the error and said: “Thistle Housing Association prides itself in its open and transparent dialogue with its residents.

“We recognise that in this case, procedures were not followed appropriately and additional training has since been provided.”
