DETAILS of a £5.12million improvement programme for almost 200 homes in Priesthill have been unveiled.
Concerns were raised about the condition of the Barratt Circle homes and the council was asked to intervene.
The properties, mostly former council inter-war stock at Glenmuir Drive, Househillmuir Road, Linnhead Drive and Ravenscraig Drive, were refurbished by Barratt in the 1980s and marketed for low cost home ownership suitable for first time buyers.
A number of issues, including owners not paying for factoring services, has led to varying levels of disrepair and around 25 of the current homes lying vacant.
An improvements work programme will address the issues identified by residents in three phases including external Wall Insulation and common fabric repairs including roof, gutters, downpipes, common close doors and windows, clearing roof spaces etc.
There will also be close security including door entry systems, close lighting and close decoration works.
Environmental works will also be carried out.
