We're some of the many people in the UK mis-sold the UK Govt backed Green Deal, leaving all of us in debt and many with nothing. But we're fighting back now!
We don't often tweet but we are so excited to be shortlisted for an Evening Times Community Champions Award. This, Tuesday, is the final day to vote for us. We hope you will because it will give our members a huge boost as we fight the good fight. https://t.co/3W4OBt4FiQ #HELMS
Happy New Year to anyone experiencing the after effects of #GreenDeal Mis-selling. We start the year with renewed determination to win this fight. We will have a public meeting on Monday 28th Jan, 7.30pm in the Brunswick Centre in Balornock. More info soon but keep the date.
our Cllr @CllrGrahamC and former MP @AnneMcLaughlin and we met up with our local MP @PaulJSweeney who gave us a guided tour. We even met @MhairiBlack & practiced celebrating if we win this fight. It was great to see opposing politicians coming together to support this campaign.
Thread. #HELMS So two of our team (Ange and Shirley) travelled to London to give evidence to MPs at the House of Commons. The support from everyone was incredible. @Ivan_McKee paid for us to go, the @APPGonGreenDeal MPs could not have been more interested, we spent the day with -
We're so proud of our neighbour & co campaigner 86yr old Mary Hunter & you'll see why when you watch @bbctimeline tonight (THURS) 7.30pm BBC2 Scotland. She's had her peace of mind ruined but she's 1 of our core team & overcame her nerves 2 tell our story on TV! #greendeal#HELMS
The core team of the action group (pictured) continues to meet regularly and we're hoping to have a series of public meetings shortly where you can get practical help with your particular circumstances. We'll also be giving evidence to @APPGonGreenDeal
Looking for Glasgow and Lanarkshire based householders affected by Green Deal problems to give evidence to panel of MPs in Glasgow this Thursday evening. More info here https://t.co/77mOpKLGjZ #solarpanels#greendeal
Christine and Kevin are part of the core team of this group. What happened to them is not right especially when the man behind it is off golfing in Dubai!
I have been working with a couple this happened to. Christine and Kevin in #Barmulloch were going to save for years to take their wee boy to Disneyworld but instead that money is going on the extra bills and his dreams have been shattered. Makes me so angry. #HELMS#greendeal
We know that there are many more of our neighbours who still don't realise what's happened and we will be holding many more public meetings to make sure they do.
Whenever we held public meeting in #Balornock or #Barmulloch on the issue of #HELMS or #greendeal people would come out of curiosity and leave stunned, previously unaware of what had happened to them. It was not their fault, they bought into something plastered in UK govt logos.
Our MP @PaulJSweeney talking about what happened to two of us - 86 year old Mary and Christine from Balornock. Says Mary should be able to enjoy her retirement, not have sleepless nights after losing her life savings. #HELMS#greendeal
Our Chairperson @AngelaCrawley30 - APPG inundated with people contacting us. Building warrants not applied for prior to building work, householders told not needed & can't be applied for retrospectively leaving householders with homes they can neither insure nor sell! #GreenDeal
Good to be able to report back last night to our neighbours and friends in #Balornock and #Barmulloch on the plans we've made for campaigning for those of us mis-sold #GreenDeal products like cladding & solar panels. You can see the worry on people's faces and no wonder!
Christine & Kevin of #Barmulloch planned to take their wee boy to Disneyland to celebrate some big family birthdays. They can't now because they were mis-sold solar panels under the #GreenDeal RT if U think the Westminster Government should compensate them. @APPGonGreenDeal
