The Crown Office has confirmed that: "There will be no criminal charges in respect of allegations of fraud involving the property conservation department of the council". Please ensure colleagues, friends and family are aware of this and show support for our colleagues who are are still being wrongly hounded by the press.

Police charges not related to Statutory Repair Notices

Following press reports regarding charges brought regarding repairs in the City of Edinburgh Council, UNISON wants to make it clear that these ARE NOT connected to the Statutory Repair Notices scheme operated by the Property Conservation Department. Our information is that no wrongdoing was uncovered by the police.

UNISON has consistently tried to correct misleading reports that inaccurately linked allegations of criminal activity to members in the Statutory Repair Notices scheme.
