Homeowners in Tillicoultry who have been locked out of their properties for 20 months are still homeless after being forced from their RAAC-riddled homes. Nearly two years ago, RAAC was discovered in 27 properties in Tillicoultry, ten of which are privately owned, across three blocks of flats. The residents were evacuated immediately and have been locked out ever since. RAAC is a lightweight, “crumbling” concrete that can put buildings at risk of sudden collapse.

John Swinney said he got the SNP “back in contention” for Thursday’s Hamilton, Larkhall, and Stonehouse by-election, but the progress was “not nearly enough”. The First Minister’s party narrowly missed out on holding the Holyrood seat after confidently declaring the contest to be a two-horse race between the SNP and Nigel Farage’s Reform UK in the run-up. Scottish Labour stunned the SNP to win the Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse by-election by just 602 votes early Friday morning.

Turnout was announced as 44.2%, with a total of 27,155 votes cast on Thursday out of a possible electorate of 61,485.
