A mum has said the demolition of the Wyndford tower blocks would have an "astronomical impact" on her life.

Caz Rae, who lives near one of the towers, has launched an appeal to try and force Wheatley Homes Glasgow to complete a full environmental impact assessment (EIA) ahead of the work.

Her view is that it should have been carried out before the buildings were vacated and prepared for being pulled down.

She fears that without it, the demolition will negatively impact her family's wellbeing. 

The social landlord emphasised there are methods in place to mitigate environmental impact and dust, noise, and vibration will be kept to a minimum.

She said: "This all surrounds me, one of the blocks is 20 feet from me. The amount of dust will seriously compromise our health.

"I have a young son has serious health issues.

"I have a quite serious allergy to dust for which I take medication.

"This will have an astronomical impact on us.

"The EIA is essential to make sure we have all the right building codes, health and safety, necessary precautions, and proper perimeters in place."

The resident also claimed no information has been shared among the locals who will be impacted by the work.

Wheatley Homes Glasgow, however, explained that nine newsletters have been sent out and direct consultation will begin with residents when the demolition is confirmed.

The Glasgow mum added: "Based on what they are proposing, 400 households would have to be evacuated on the day of the demolition and if it went over one night, we would have to find our own accommodation.

"We all have pets, medication, school runs and they have not been in touch to make any arrangements.

"I feel we would just be getting flung into the fire. There would be disruption in every single part of our lives."

She explained that she gets food, medicine, and equipment delivered regularly to the house for her son who is a wheelchair user and the move would cause difficulties in his care.

Her appeal will go to the Inner House of the Court of Session in Edinburgh's High Court and will be considered after a six-week pause.

Caz is a member of the Wyndford Residents Union which also supports the appeal. 

Its members vowed they "will not stop" fighting to block the work from being carried out.

Nick Durie said: "The story is not over. We are not even midway through.

"We need to ensure that there are 600 social homes at the end of this process.

"We will fight until the end. As simple as that."

The demolition of the tower blocks has been the subject of a years-long planning and court dispute.

Last month, a judicial review ruled it lawful that Glasgow City Council greenlit the plan without an EIA.

The demolition would be part of a huge £100m redevelopment of the area by Wheatley Homes Glasgow and the council.

A Wheatley Homes Glasgow spokesperson said: “The four blocks will be demolished under strict health and safety conditions.  

“Stringent air testing will be carried out by leading independent analysts and there will be absolutely no increased risk to residents.  

“Residents will not need to leave their homes overnight.

“The Court of Session last month supported Glasgow City Council’s decision to grant approval to demolish these blocks. 

“The overwhelming majority of tenants support the plans.”
