Renfrewshire Council has held a meeting regarding the safety of Renfrewshire’s high rise blocks.
It follows a high-rise building fire in West London where 17 people have been confirmed dead.
Paisley North West Councillor Kenny MacLaren revealed that relevant council staff have convened a meeting to discuss safety within high rise blocks.
Cllr MacLaren said: “Following the horrific fire in the tower block in London, I’ve been in contact with the Director of Housing who has convened a meeting of the relevant council staff to ensure the safety of all our tenants in multi-storey blocks across Renfrewshire.”
Speaking at First Minister’s Questions, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said the Scottish government would be ready to take any necessary action following an investigation into the fire.
She said: “The investigation into this fire is clearly at a very early stage and while there appear to be very serious questions to be answered we must be careful not to speculate at this stage.
“That said, members will wish to know that the local government minister has this morning discussed the fire with local authority colleagues.
“A ministerial group will also be convened to review Scottish regulations and to ensure we are standing ready to take any actions necessary as lessons are learned form this catastrophic fire.”
