What it asks

Calling on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to ensure that—
financial viability studies are conducted on listed buildings requiring restoration and/or maintenance,
responsibility of ownership is established for this work and;
financial assistance is provided where listed buildings are at risk of falling into disrepair.

What the petitioner did first

I have written to Historic Environment Scotland and I have also written to my MSP Jackie Baillie advising her of this petition.

    All buildings should be maintained to an acceptable standard, plus owners should be liable if this is not done.

    Too many listed buildings are being left too long whereby they fall into a state of disrepair far beyond the condition they would have been in had they been subjected to a maintenance plan.
