I'VE HAD ENOUGH!!!

We've had #wakingwatch for over a year (£60k/month).

We agreed to fund a temp fire alarm system (£350k) to get rid of them. @LondonFire agreed the plan.

Now, mid-project we are told by @NFCC that the original plan wasn't good enough.

@NFCC now say that we can't get rid of #WakingWatch without a total redesign including heat sensors in every flat.

This is obviously far more expensive + turns a 2-3 month project into a 6-9 months.

This completely changes the analysis of whether the temp alarm is even worth it

We are now FORCED into a choice:

a) cut our losses on the fire alarm and live with a £350k waste of money + continue to pay waking watch until remediation

b) pay all the extra for the heat sensors + the extra 3-6 month WW costs

And still no news on Gov funding for anything!

@mhclg

all seem to be free to change guidance on a whim, totally free from impact or any accountability.
All the costs are passed on to Leaseholders who can't challange!

This can't go on!
