I’ve been made aware this morning that the Pivot Centre in Moodiesburn is one of two properties in the NLC area that have been identified as having RAAC after an inspection of all school properties in the area.
North Lanarkshire Council state that they have already taken remedial work to ensure these properties are safe, including the installation of permanent steel supports and structural engineers advising that there are no immediate safety concerns. In addition, regular surveys will take place.
I understand that The Pivot Centre will be closed for five days from Monday 11 September for permanent steel supports and further ceiling alterations. Subsequently, I have written to the Council to ask for an update once these works are completed.
Further, I understand that up to 400 housing properties may have RAAC as part of their construction. North Lanarkshire Council are in the process of instructing specialist surveyors to carry out inspections. Again, I have asked to be updated on this matter when appropriate.
