A potentially dangerous concrete has been found in the gym at Castlehead High School in Paisley, it can be revealed.
Councillor Kenny MacLaren, who represents Paisley Northwest, said: "How worthwhile were the assurances given to us when we were told there was no problem with RAAC in schools? I don't remember them saying it was just an initial survey and there would be further work. RAAC is less durable than traditional concrete and was used in the construction of some public buildings between the 1950s and 1990s. Elected members were made aware of the development at Castlehead High in an email from the head of marketing and communications on Tuesday.
