Ian Gray of WM Donald Ltd, Bob Cummins, SODAK Ltd and Grahame Barn represented contractors at a meeting of USAG Scotland in Edinburgh on 12 October. This was the first meeting of USAG Scotland in over 18 months and as such much of the meeting was a “catch up” on the service detection activities and performance of utility companies such as Scottish Water & SGN. It was agreed that the frequency of meetings would have to increase in the short-term if the group was to have a positive influence in changing the behaviours that result in service strikes. To that end, the group will meet again before the end of the year to concentrate on identifying good/best practice around service avoidance and how it can be shared across the sector.
