Experts have urged people to stay away from the scene of a major fire at The Glasgow School of Art and Sauchiehall Street.
Council building control officers say it is essential that people observe an exclusion zone, which remains in place to protect public safety.
Glasgow City Council’s Head of Building Control Raymond Barlow said: “We have had reports of people breaching the cordon, and we have many requests from displaced residents to access their properties.
“I fully understand people’s desire to get back into their property and if we could safely do anything to facilitate that then we would.
“However surveys in recent days have shown us that the West and East elevations remain of significant concern
“This means that there is a risk that parts of the building might fall into Scott Street or Dalhousie Street. This could happen without warning.
“Our number one priority is public safety and It is therefore simply too dangerous to allow anyone to access the site.
“Working with The Glasgow School of Art and Historic Environment Scotland we are currently devising a methodology to allow us to examine the building up close, however it will be at least the early part of next week before we are able to do that.”
