Final day for students to move out of University of Lincoln accommodation block

Today is the final day students at a University of Lincoln apartment block- deemed a 'fire risk'- have to move out

A safety review found the Gateway building needed improvements -

Around 500 students had been living there.

We spoke to student Laura Gray:

She told us: "At the end the day we are living here, we are tenants in their building so to say - by the way you have to move out, that's unprofessional really and it's not nice."

"Here is one of the safest buildings, you can't get in without a key, you can't get onto the floors, not even into the general flat areas."

"You can't get into any rooms without a key."

"It was safe here and well protected but it's now quite worrying I could be put into accommodation which doesn't feel as safe."

We approached the University of Lincoln for a comment.

They said: ""It's been a huge and complex operation and it's ongoing as students continue to get support"

"The team have been working around the clock" in this difficult time"
