That the Council:-

1.             Notes the Scottish Government's unwillingness, confirmed in Parliamentary Questions, to provide financial support to Council to assist in its handling with Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) affected properties in Torry;

2.             Considers this is an unsustainable position given the cost to Council and to private owners in Balnagask, Torry in carrying out remedial works;

3.       Notes the decisions of the Urgent Business Committee of 29 February 2024 and instructs the Chief Officer - Finance to report to the meeting of Finance and Resources on 7 August 2024 with options to provide financial assistance to those private homeowners affected by RAAC given the present lack of financial support from the Scottish Government; and

4.       Instructs the Chief Executive to write to the Scottish Government:

a.       requesting that the Council be a participant in the RAAC Cross Sector Working Group due to the Council's high level of affected property; and

b.       asking for reconsideration of the current non existent financial support to both the Council and private homeowners.
