CCTV will be installed in all Clydebank’s high-rise flats as enhanced safety checks were launched this week, officials announced.

The moves come as Scottish Fire and Rescue Service continues visiting all of the more than 20 properties across West Dunbartonshire.

Hundreds of buildings are being checked nationwide in the wake of the deadly Grenfell Tower blaze in London earlier this month.

The Scottish Parliament’s local government and communities committee said it would review building safety standards.

Though the cladding believed to have contributed to the Grenfell fire is not used in Scotland, the government and councils have worked to establish the safety of high-rise flats.

Tests in England have already found 60 residential towers have failed fire safety checks.

A spokeswoman for West Dunbartonshire Council said: “Enhanced fire safety risk assessments have been commissioned and work will start this week.

"The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service is currently visiting all high-rise properties and our caretakers have completed checks on all communal areas to provide further reassurance.

“We will be installing CCTV in all high-rise properties and that will begin this week in Clyde Court with others benefitting over the coming weeks.”

Craig Edward, chairman of the Dalmuir Multi Storey Flats TRA, welcomed the CCTV: “I’m delighted that my suggestion of installing CCTV here is coming to fruition.

"I know it will be welcomed by many tenants who want added protection of being safe in lifts and the cameras actively being monitored.

“Installing CCTV does not resolve some of the problems raised, but it does go some way in reassuring tenants that the Police are watching and can respond accordingly.”
