'Personal fire service' deployed by Scottish Government to block of flats at risk in Glasgow

The Scottish Government has been forced to fund a "personal fire service" for a massive apartment complex in Glasgow after developers failed to make improvements in the wake of the Grenfell Tower disaster.

Lancefield Quay, on the north bank of the Clyde, will see a team of fire safety experts continually patrol the grounds and buildings in order to alert residents if a blaze breaks out.

The move was triggered after a report highlighted major safety issues at the site in Finnieston, which was developed in the early 2000s.
