Just got round to reading this brilliant analysis of PAS9980 by Peter Apps. Can't help coming away thinking that while the gov hopes it will put the genie back in the bottle on building safety, many will be in exactly the same position as they are now. insidehousing.co.uk/insight/this-i…

And now we see if it is in fact possible to put worms back into a can that’s been open for two years…

Royston Smith MP UK Cladding Action Group End Our Cladding Scandal Would be interesting to know if this extends to us in buildings under 11m. #BuildingSafetyCrisis

Lewis Goodall What about those of us in sub 11m buildings who are also facing remediation?

Lewis Goodall Are new sprinklers gonna convince barclays to lend against a building that already failed ews1? Doubt it. So can’t remort/sell. Trapped. Rotting. Basically the government has killed my hopes. UK Cladding Action Group

...those costs as well but again, that will be difficult to achieve.

There are also hundreds if not thousands of blocks UNDER 11m with failed EWS1 forms. What of those? Govt hopes to introduce smaller measures like sprinklers etc to reintroduce confidence to the market...

Can anyone tell me what this news is likely to mean for blocks <11m? Unless they actually retire advice note 14 we’re still going to be in limbo and lenders won’t touch us in the meantime Michael Gove

Unbelievably stressful not being able to move on with your life plans.

Michael Gove I bought a new u18m flat with a 10yr warranty. How is this mess even possible? Withdraw the advice note if we’re worrying unnecessarily?

July 2021: The govt pledged lenders should no longer require EWS1s assessments on buildings below 18m

Yet the 2020 'consolidated advice note' requiring an EWS1 on such buildings has NOT been withdrawn

Revoke it IMMEDIATELY

RT if U agree

After Robert Jenrick's grand announcement that blocks u18m would no longer need #EWS1 , thanks to Judith Hackitt & Roy Wilsher's expert advice, when exactly will @mhclg withdraw their Consolidated Advice Note Stephen Greenhalgh?
Or is it the case that you don't trust your own experts?

So important that our 50m pool and diving pool reopen otherwise we will be letting down a generation of future athletes.

Millions of UK residents are innocent victims of the #BuildingSafetyCrisis

I’m seeing circa £97k remediation costs being quoted for flats costing £110k when new, build not so long ago. If that was a car it would be written off. Time to finally step up and sort this Boris Johnson. #EndOurFireSafetyScandal #EndOurCladdingScandal

Been trying to return an @ASOS parcel for a week now. Have tried 3 different return locations in the area and all 3 tell me they can’t print the labels and @ASOS won’t send them a new printer. What do I do?

This week our cot was delivered. Whilst I’m so excited, it also breaks my heart that my son will be born into the middle of our #BuildingSafetyCrisis

I always imagined I’d be decorating a nursery not compromising on a bedside cot as it’s the only type that’ll fit our 1 bed flat
