Socialist candidate says council sitting ‘another Grenfell in the making’

A LONDON council is presiding over “another Grenfell in the making” as all 80 of its tall housing blocks have life-critical fire safety defects.

Independent socialist candidate for Tottenham Nandita Lal called on Haringey Council to take immediate action to improve the safety of its council homes after uncovering the risks, which include defective fire doors and compartmentation, with a freedom of information request.

Her research also found that 46 Haringey council blocks have combustible materials on their external walls.
