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.

#endourcladdingscandal @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
