Lightweight concrete panels, which are at risk of sudden collapse, have been found in 500 properties, including 364 council homes in the Balnagask area of Aberdeen. Of the 364 properties, 299 are occupied by council tenants.

The local authority has relocated the council tenants to alternative accommodation following recommendations outlined in an independent structural engineers’ report.

Aberdeen City Council received an independent structural engineers’ report which confirmed the presence of RAAC in a representative sample of these properties on 22 February.
