Fire Safety

Sprinklers - (£1.200m) The response from resident consultation and the likely impact of the draft Building Safety Bill requires the council to review how to best proceed with the proposed sprinkler installation at 2 properties. The works undertaken on this project so far have identified some of the resident, leasehold and technical challenges with the proposed project. This will be reported through to a future Housing Committee alongside the implementation of the draft Building Safety Bill.
Doors - (£0.900m) Revised timescales in mobilisation of the new contract, delays in materials for manufacturing (driver shortages) and greater demand for certified fire doors (due to the forthcoming Building Safety Bill) has resulted in reduced spend for 2021/22.
