Action for Fire Safety Justice
Michael ᚋᚔᚉᚆᚓᚐᚂ@karlstanley @d_mathieson @sinabhfuil My neighbours and I would willingly lead him to the machine. We are mired in the UK’s #BuildingSafetyCrisis and his company, despite signing the Government’s contract, is dragging its heels.
@sinabhfuil Duh yes. Haven't they watched the news from Grenfell?
The block of flats I live in, doesn't have much flammable insulation (we have some) but the fall out from Grenfell, known in the UK as the #BuildingSafetyCrisis is a nightmare. It's cost us a fortune to retrofit fire detections systems and sprinklers.
Bill WitteFinally! This has been obvious in Fairbanks for a couple years. https://www.adn.com/alaska-news/anchorage/2024/01/09/city-points-to-problematic-roof-structure-as-culprit-in-latest-anchorage-collapse/ #BuildingSafetyCrisis
Latest roof collapse is more evidence that some older commercial roofs are not performing to code, officials say
The warehouse roof that buckled Monday under a heavy snow load involved the same wooden frames believed to have contributed to most of 19 collapses the past two winters.

#BuildingSafety minister demanded ‘do nothing’ option be added to policy paper on collapse risks
Potentially catastrophic building safety risks, including the chance of a collapse causing a “Grenfell-scale tragedy”, are not being properly addressed by the government, a civil servant has warned in a resignation letter'

Cathitza CathingtonI only really use the former birdsite to keep up with what’s happening with the #CladdingScandal / #BuildingSafetyCrisis (it affects me and all the campaigners are active on there).
Interestingly, I’ve noticed since I updated my apps and the logo changed to X, I don’t want to click on it. It’s like a visceral reaction. Anyone else noticed that?
I'm glad more people are seeing Robert Jenrick's true colours. Those of us trapped by the cladding scandal already knew.

Promising scenes in Parliament today.
I’m one of many shared owners trapped by the cladding scandal, living in a shoddily-built, leak-ridden flat that my housing association are too incompetent and uncaring to fix.
Leasehold needs to go.

Good on #FT for this investigation of #Peabody’s ineptitude and mistreatment of social housing tenants and leaseholders. 100% spot on in my experience as a shared owner.
But it’s not just them. It’s ALL housing associations. The whole system is broken and reform is needed.
