- 2 years ago
Security beefed up as Glasgow homes still no-go area for residents amid dangerous Trinity College building fear.
Residents of the former Trinity College building and surrounding area in Glasgow's west end have been unable to return to their homes after being evacuated due to it becoming unsafe during high winds.
Security firm, PID Systems where seen today installing street alarms which would suggest the return of residents is some time away.
Over 100 residents of 26 properties adjoined to the historic Trinity College were forced to flee after the building was deemed to be unsafe due to falling masonry from the stone towe during Storm Malik.
High winds last Friday and Saturday caused contractors working on the building on Lynedoch Street to call in Building Standards over concerns about the condition of the building.
An inspection by officers decided that the building had to be evacuated around 1pm on Saturday on the grounds of public safety.
An emergency centre was opened at Kelvin Hall for those evacuated from their home with hotel accommodation offered to a 'limited' number of households who needed it. 96 people used the rest centre, which remained open over the weekend.
