| FOI-31 | Noise-Related Complaints – 1/2, 32 Auchinlea Road, Glasgow, G34 9NW
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to request information about any noise-related complaints that have been made in relation to the property at Flat 1/2, 32 Auchinlea Road, Glasgow, G34 9NW.
Specifically, I would like to know:
The total number of complaints received regarding noise, shouting, or disturbances reported from that address;
The general nature or type of those complaints (for example, whether they involved loud noise, shouting, or visits by police);
If possible, whether any of those complaints made specific reference to a child’s behaviour or activity within the household; and
When such complaints began, at least approximately (for example, month and year if available).
I do not require the names or identifying details of the individuals who made the complaints.
The reason I am requesting this information is to better understand the environmental circumstances affecting my son, Piotr Robert Lohman, who has additional needs. I am in the process of applying for my own accommodation and want to ensure that I can prepare a suitable, sound-adapted living environment for him. I have access to professional support from people experienced in building and nursery adaptations for children with autism, and this information will help me plan the right measures for Piotr’s comfort and development.
Please confirm whether this information can be released under your housing association’s policy or under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002.
Thank you for your assistance.

| FOI-22 | Request for Environmental Information on Low-Carbon Heating Installations
To Whom it may concern,
I am writing to formally request information under the Environmental Information (Scotland) Regulations 2004 (EIRs). As part of my PhD research into household decarbonisation and the adoption of sustainable heating technologies, I am seeking information on low-carbon heating solutions implemented in your housing stock.
Specifically, I would appreciate details regarding:
1. The types of low-carbon heating systems installed in properties managed by your housing association (e.g., heat pumps, solar panels, district heating systems, etc.).
2. The number of properties where such technologies have been deployed.
3. Which properties are currently installed with which low carbon heating systems (e.g. address with type of heating system)
I believe this information is covered under the EIRs as it pertains to measures affecting or likely to affect elements of the environment, including energy efficiency and carbon emissions.
If possible, I kindly request that the information be provided in an electronic format (e.g., spreadsheets or reports) and within the timeframe outlined under the EIRs. Should any of the requested information be exempt or unavailable, I would appreciate an explanation in line with the requirements of the regulations.
If there are costs associated with processing this request, please inform me in advance. I am happy to provide further details about my research if required and would welcome any additional context or documentation you can share regarding your decarbonisation efforts.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to your response!
Kind regards,
