Hundreds of people are being moved out of their homes in Aberdeen as they contain collapse-risk concrete. Aberdeen City Council said reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (Raac) panels were found in around 500 homes in the city’s Balnagask area last year, including 364 council properties.
A structural engineers’ report to the council recommended the council tenants affected be relocated to alternative accommodation within the city as soon as possible.
Councillors accepted a recommendation from council officers that tenants be permanently rehomed. Officers are examining options for the long-term viability for the site, including remedial works or demolition.
