GHA will spend, spend, spend for 45,000 familiesGHA will spend, spend, spend for 45,000 families (Evening Times)
THOUSANDS of families across Glasgow have been promised a multi-million
pound makeover to improve their homes.
Housing chiefs have agreed to splash the cash to make homes warmer,
drier and more modern.
Glasgow Housing Association has allocated a bumper £144million for the
year for improvements - that's almost £3m every week.
The money will be spent on providing tenants with a range of upgrades
from new kitchens and bathrooms to rewiring and central heating.
Once the cash has been carved up it will result in:
● £77m for overcladding at tower blocks and smaller "mini-multi"
properties to provide better insulation, improve the appearance of
buildings and cut heating bills.
● £42m on installing new kitchens and bathrooms and on rewiring.
● £16m on environmental works such as maintaining pathways, providing
street lighting and revamping back courts and gardens as well as
upgrading common areas.
● £9m on installing central heating and providing lift and pipe insulation,
upgrading lifts, fitting controlled entry doors and fitting special anti-fire
doors.
Bosses say 45,000 tenants throughout the city will be better off.
