The latest total for high rises blocks that have now been identified as having unsafe cladding is 60. It seems as if every block being tested fails. I hope that when the people responsible for supplying, installing and approving the use of such materials at Grenfell Tower get jailed, the people who put the lives of thousands at risk by supplying, installing and approving the use of the same materials for all these other tower blocks all over the country won't escape trial and punishment. ......... One significant point - it's claimed that regulatiins about fire safety officially banned their use higher than 18 metres, which would mean it's a matter of failure to apply those reulatiins and enforce them, which would conveniently let off the hook those who made the regulations. But 18 metres could mean a six storey building. That's an awful lot of potential death traps that are still perfectly legal, including schools and hospitals.
