The towers, which were the tallest residential buildings in Europe when they were built as social housing in the 1960s, were being demolished as part of GHA’s plans to regenerate the Balornock and Barmulloch areas of the city. Residents were allowed to return to their homes shortly before nightfall after safety checks had been carried out. A housing association has apologised after its attempts to bring down the iconic Red Road flats in Glasgow left two of the six towers largely intact.It meant that about 2,500 people who live inside the exclusion zone set up for the demolition faced delays in being allowed back into their homes.Glasgow Housing Association apologised for the delays.Demolition experts hope to begin bringing down the two remaining towers later this week.An independent technical review of the blowdown is being carried out.
