ON every visit to Kerrycroy Avenue and surrounding streets, more and more residents wanted to speak out about problems with their homes.
One couple had to have their house roughcasted four times before it was of accepted standard.

And, in one instance, repairs had to be made when the flue from their boiler was sealed in by workmen, causing a potential hazard.

One block of flats had scaffolding erected that blocked their patio doors – used as main entrances to the homes.

For most, they could go out their back doors... but one woman in a wheelchair was left trapped in her home.

In another block of flats, blue plastic was used to cover residents’ windows.

While they were told this would be for a few days, the plastic was there for five months, meaning they couldn’t see out and had to have their lights on even in daytime.

One man told the Evening Times he’d come home from work to find two workmen having a physical fight in his front garden.

This resulted in police and an ambulance being called – and further delays to his upgrade works.

Residents claimed they had no notice of the works until Thistle employees visited their homes to say they had to pay £2129.10 towards costs.

Some said they were visited on a Tuesday and told they had to pay up by the Thursday or work wouldn’t go ahead.

One man had sewage flood his home six times.

In another property, an object was dropped from scaffolding and plunged through a patio – giving a narrow escape to the owner.

A group of residents set up a website to detail the problems they were having and Thistle bosses reported them to the police.

In another incident, a resident contacted Thistle to ask for a workman to repair a damaged entry system and was visited by police with an accusation of vandalism instead.

The Evening Times has repeatedly asked how much the project costs have now run to but neither E-on nor Thistle will divulge the answer.
