BBC investigation finds high-rise housing not fire checked
An investigation by BBC London has revealed that hundreds of high-rise social housing towers are being left unchecked by the dutyholder.
The investigation follows the death of six people in July 2009 during a fire at the 12 storey Lakanal House in Southwark.
The BBC state that councils are required to conduct fire risk assessments before and during major refurbishments. Responses to Freedom of Information requests by the BBC revealed ”72 unchecked and potentially unsafe tower bocks”
