A vote will be held at a full council meeting on Thursday,March 18 following a after a motion over the council leadership.
BREXIT has been blamed for an inability to immediately source repair parts following further failures with a £9 million home heating system in Greenock, a councillor claims. Colin Jackson says he was told by engineers assigned to fix problems associated with the Broomhill biomass boiler that the delay was down to complications arising from the UK leaving the European Union. Six-hundred properties at the River Clyde Homes housing scheme recently refurbished as part of an overall £30m regeneration programme are dependant on the system for heating and hot water. A number of residents have been left without either after their individual household heat exchanger units broke down.
