Drop-in sessions at Aberdeen tower blocks over fire fears

Aberdeen City Council has organised a series of information sessions for residents of its multi-storey tower blocks, in the wake of the Grenfell Tower disaster.

The first will be held on Tuesday (27 June) at Brimmond Court and others will follow at venues throughout the city.

The drop-in sessions are designed to share information with residents and answer questions in relation to fire safety and building standard

MSPs have launched a new investigation into the safety of high rises across Scotland.

No council or housing association has the kind of cladding involved in the Grenfell Tower disaster - but tests are still being carried out on privately-owned blocks.

A selection of Frequently Asked Questions has also been compiled by the City Council to provide a quick reference guide to more common concerns. http://news.aberdeencity.gov.uk/faqs-aberdeen-city-council-multi-storey-properties/
