19 towers have Grenfell cladding

Residents of 19 tower blocks in Glasgow are being given letters confirming their building contains cladding similar to that used on Grenfell Tower.

Nine days after Glasgow City Council revealed combustible cladding had been found on 57 private high rise buildings, the authority said further investigations had reduced that total to 19.

People living in flats in these buildings were being given hand-delivered letters informing them of the situation. The local authority would not say which blocks were affected.
