More than 4,000 council houses in Edinburgh are still waiting to be fitted with interlinked smoke alarms, four months after a law change which made them mandatory in all homes in Scotland.
Edinburgh City Council has faced problems getting permission to enter some addresses but said staff are doing their 'utmost' to have all properties upgraded 'by the Autumn.'
Any council tenants who have not yet had the new smoke detectors fitted are being urged to book an appointment "as soon as possible."
