McMillan & Grieve Pressure Resolves Dangerous Cabling at High Flats

Stuart McMillan MSP, (SNP) and Inverclyde Councillor Jim Grieve have welcomed the news from River Clyde Homes (RCH) that Virgin Media have carried out the necessary maintenance work to safeguard loose cabling outside three flat complexes in Port Glasgow (Heather Court, Thistle Court & Rowan Court).

Mr McMillan and Councillor Grieve were contacted by a number of constituents with a range of issues at the three courts. As a result of this, a meeting was organised with the Chief Executive of RCH, residents within the flats and Stuart McMillan MSP to try and resolve the cabling issue and other issues that arose.

Mr McMillan has now been made aware from River Clyde Homes the work will be carried out by Virgin Media to make the cabling safe.

Mr. McMillan said;

"I welcome the news that the loose cabling outside three flat complexes in Port Glasgow has been resolved, which in-turn will improve health and safety in the surrounding area.

"When Councillor Grieve and constituents made me aware of this hazard I was anxious to see action taken swiftly to resolve the problem, therefore I wrote accordingly to Virgin Media.

"It has been somewhat disappointing at the length of time it has taken to resolve this issue, for one reason or another, nevertheless, I am pleased for the residents that measures have now been taken.

Councillor Grieve said;

"The issue of loose cabling outside the three flat complexes, in my ward, has been a long standing case I have persuade on behalf of constituents.

"Therefore, I am pleased to hear that with added pressure action has now been taken to make the cabling safe. I'm sure local residents will be pleased with this progress also."
