What happened at Lakanal House? - ua-cam.com/video/P-0rqjPDFOA/v-deo.html
Grenfell is the result you can expect from a hollowed out Neoliberalisam system that Thatcher announced with, "we must pull back the State", I didn't rejoice at the time, but many did as they could buy their Council housing. Grenfell failed on so many levels it shouldn't have been handed over, and the people responsible didn't appear at the Grenfell Inquiry. So it will continue.
Your spot on regards not starting without approved design, this is one of the biggest challenges to be addressed - if Spain, Scotland and others can do it the UK must ensure the same is achieved. Far to often issues are being addressed as build progresses, and ultimately forced compromise is the solution but also ultimately the problem.
It's maddening to see this kind of cowboy building, cowboy building management going on and certainy through lucrative contracts as well. There must be a huge untapped market for retrospective repairs both in the public and private sector first for fire safety but also for the airtightness and ventalation installation necessary to reduce energy consumption.
Did any employees of the southwark council unit looking after Lakanal House lose their jobs.. financial costs were incurred by the council through fines and loss in refurbishment costs running in the millions but my question is: who in a position of authority was personally held accountable?
Exactly. Surely someone should be held criminally accountable for negledgence in their job?
It's also fairly well known, at least in the firefighting community, that buildings made of those insulated structural panels are dangerous as well. When a fire burns away the foam insulation, the panel no longer has much integrity, so it cannot support much weight, leading to collapse. I agree, the Grenfell incident is unique. But the cladding did compromise the fire safety of the building. I'm not even an architect or structural engineer but I am knowledgeable enough to know that flammable cladding on such a building is a no-no.
Agreed, however flammable material is still permitted under UK regs. I also agree that a blanket ban would be simple to understand and enforce, however we still need to understand why the fire in this case was so different to fires in other clad buildings which have been successfully contained. I suspect there are other significant contributory features that have not yet been made public and the focus on the cladding may over simplify the issues and reasons for the fatalities.
I agree with you very much

Surely number one LOUD WORKING FIRE ALARMS CHECKED EVERY WEEK WOULD BE GOOD START!
Everyone should have left at one am! Its human nature to want to get out!
The sign does not say stay in flat if your block on fire says leave straight away
Its strange
I hope they find answers to how and why this happened.
Agreed. Obviously it’s part of an ongoing criminal investigation at the moment but check our blog post for 20 questions we feel need to be answered - www.thebuildinginspector.org/apps/blog/show/44609238-20-questions-that-need-answers-in-light-of-grenfell-fire-
VERSE i feel lot of false stories about Grenfell! Why did people remain in flats when there was a fire! Sign clearly says if fire in your flat or BLOCK LEAVE IMMEDIATELY! There should be clear sign ! Fire! Get out! Stay out! Picture of FLAMES AND PICTURE SHOW PEOPLE EXIT! NEVER STAY IN BURNING BUILDING EVEN IF TWO STOREY! HIGH RISE GET OUT IMMEDIATELY!
