Summary
Westfield Court residents are caught in a tense standoff as the council tries to demolish their crumbling building—only to hit pause after Historic Environment Scotland threatens listing protection. Frustrated by years of neglect, unpaid maintenance, and inadequate buyout offers, residents feel blindsided by the council’s shifting stance and accuse them of poor communication. The council denies failing in its duty of care, hoping to still push ahead with demolition under special permission. Now, residents demand a real repair plan to keep their homes safe and affordable, while the listing offers a fragile lifeline—but uncertainty remains high.
