Title: Make all homes safe now
Post by: bobjimwilly on November 09, 2017, 12:25:06 pm
Add your signature to this letter from the Labour Party to the Prime Minister to urge her to set aside vital funding in the 2017 Budget for local authorities and housing associations to fit sprinklers into tower blocks:

what is not simple? if the question is, "should all tower blocks be fitted with sprinklers", the answer is yes. The government can then either set aside a budget to do it, or enact it in law and make it the responsibility of the owners of tower blocks. it really is that simple.

Tower blocks are supposed to be compartmentalised to contain any spread
