The Liberal Party notes with increasing alarm the mounting numbers of residential tower blocks failing fire proof testing of the cladding surrounding their structures.


One is left with an increasing feeling that UK building regulations have not been rigorously formulated, tested and applied across the country.  Residents of one tower block in Camden have already had to be evacuated due to the discovery of issues with allegedly missing fire doors and un-insulated gas pipes.

The safety of high rise residence is of paramount importance in the aftermath of the tragic Grenfell Tower fire and the Liberal Party calls for robust revision and enforcement of building regulations in both the public and private sector so as to protect life.
