Everyone deserves a safe, secure, and healthy home. Yet many residents in Dalmarnock Village are forced to live with damp, mould, poor ventilation, and other serious repair issues for years on end.
These issues are putting families at risk.
Dalmarnock Village was built as part of the ‘legacy’ of the 2014 Glasgow Commonwealth Games — a symbol of regeneration and investment in the East End. But just over a decade later, many residents are asking: What is the true legacy for Glasgow — safe and secure homes, or mould and neglect?
This campaign has been launched by your neighbours and Bridgeton Citizen Advice Bureau, and is driven by people like you. Over the next few months we will be working together with residents in Dalmarnock Village to expose these ongoing problems and push for the urgent improvements the community deserves.
Our Campaign Aims
- Evidence: Gather examples of the poor housing conditions affecting Dalmarnock Village through door-to-door visits.
- Expose: Highlight the widespread issues that are part of a community-wide problem.
- Demand: Call for immediate repairs, accountability, and safe, healthy homes.
- Empower: Enable every resident to share their voice and experience.
The campaign follows Glasgow’s proud history of housing activism – from the 1915 rent strikes to fights against mould and damp across the city in the 1980s and 1990s. Like them, we’re demanding safe, healthy homes for all.
