STILL no action has been made on an illegally built house in Slough and there’s now “weird things” going on, according to a nearby resident.

The three-storey property, built more than ten years ago on Eastbridge, which was already in a “dangerous condition”, was recently made worse by the storms.

Since then, the council has put up steel fencing around it, which they said to a resident has “made it safe”.

But Raymond Mc Dermaid, who lives nearby, said there’s now weird things going on with it.

“I don’t know what’s going on with it, a couple of people from the council came along after the fence was put up claiming they have made it safe.

“When I asked them if the house is being demolished, I was told ‘well we have made the building safe’ and they said legally it’s up to the landowners to demolish it.”

He also said some builders came along and knocked down some bricks off the top of the property.

He said he has no idea why the council or builders are avoiding demolishing it.

“We just can’t get to the bottom of it, someone’s surely got to claim ownership of this house and do something.”

Mr Mc Dermaid said there’s a significantly large crack in the wall from the bottom to the top of the building.

He said other residents constantly been out taking photos and complaining.

“This has now been going on for ten years, everyone around here is complaining about it and we’ve got to take a stand.”

When the Slough Observer contacted the council for an updated comment, they responded saying there is no further updates as efforts relating to land ownership continues. 

A council spokesperson previously said: “The original planning permission was given in 2007 for a three-storey house, with certain conditions attached.

“These conditions were not met and building work began before local authority approval was given.

“A Planning Enforcement Notice was served on November 20, 2015, requiring the demolition of the unauthorised building."

The council added to date the requirement of the Notice remain outstanding.

They said: “We understand the original owner is deceased and efforts are ongoing to identify who the ownership passed to, so legal proceedings can be considered.”

A petition was also set up by another resident.
