    The Guernsey Fire and Rescue Service says a significant amount of work is ongoing with Housing and Building Control to ensure all materials used on public and housing association buildings conform to required standards.

    Fire safety manager Steve Wilkes said the cladding used on the Cour du Parc in La Charotterie, Guernsey's only high-rise building, is not of the aluminium composite material - or ACM type - that was used on Grenfell Tower.

    He said checks are ongoing on a number of buildings in the island.

    Yesterday, police reported there would not be a final death toll for the Grenfell tower fire until at least the end of this year.
