Update (7 September):
We can confirm that a fire occurred yesterday (6 September) at one of the Stonyhurst Street tenement buildings currently undergoing refurbishment.
We would like to thank the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) and Police Scotland for their swift response and are grateful that no one was injured. We are cooperating fully with the relevant authorities as enquiries continue.
We are aware that disinformation has circulated regarding the future use of the homes and would once again stress that these claims are false. The buildings are being refurbished to provide much-needed affordable homes and, as we have previously stated, these properties will be allocated in line with our Allocations Policy and Scottish housing legislation from our existing housing list.
As a registered social landlord, we do not allocate housing to people who are not legally eligible for it, and all applications are assessed in accordance with the relevant legal requirements.
The extent of the damage is still being assessed, and it is too early to confirm the impact on project timescales.
Our focus remains on supporting the investigation and progressing the delivery of these much-needed homes for the Possilpark community as quickly as possible.
