But a lot of these people bought their homes under right to buy.

So they bought from the council.

So we wanted this to be a conversation at all levels because RAC is affecting disproportionately people in Scotland more than any other part of the United Kingdom.

But there are other pockets in the United Kingdom.

So we wanted it raised at Westminster as well as Holyrood.

We wanted a fair resolution for homeowners.

We did not want a single person in Aberdeen to be homeless through no fault of their own and we wanted the conversation to keep going which is what we're trying to keep doing now so that there will be a public inquiry and a decision made on whether RAC needs to be listed as a dangerous material or

or something moving forward so that we don't see swathes of people, like there's 900 households in Dundee just now, also with RAC.

What is going to happen to them?

And so a win for us was something around all of them.

I don't think that we ever thought we were going to get fair house prices, but I was determined that if there was something I could do, I was going to do it.

And that's what we did.

I think we used all the tactics.

So we had downloadable or pull-out posters in our print publications, trapped by rack that went up all over the city.

So hundreds of homes and businesses had these up in their windows.

They had a QR code on them that you could sign a petition, you could read more about the articles, you could get behind the campaign.

With a couple of hours notice, we discovered that one of our RAC families was going to the Scottish Cup final.

And so we had a banner printed and they held it pitch side right behind where all the players were doing their announcements.

And so they said, you know, help the Aberdeen families trapped by RAC.

That was particularly humorous to me because I knew the council leaders supported Aberdeen.
