geared Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 The stuff seems like a terrible option for a building material, especially in our climate. Perhaps the terrible option was building something with an expected 20 year lifespan, then trying to keep it for 40. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-england-66689463 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trastrick Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Thankfully the teachers will come out in droves if they try to shut down the schools again, because of this foolish lack of regular building inspections. I mean they will, won't they? There'll be a hue and cry for more money, for more building inspectors, of course. (If only one child's life can be saved!

Anna B Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 It's not just schools, it's thousands of public buildings including Hospitals. Health and safety are having a nervous breakdown... Can you imagine the chaos if they all have to have expensive remedial building work done before they can let the public in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
