This has now been done as it did not meet the Corporation's non flammable requirements for all materials used in the refurbishment. The material has been sent for testing.

Please come to the meeting tonight at 7pm at Golden Lane Community Centre to hear the fire safety officer Terence Short answer your questions. Your common councillors will also be present.</p> Thanks for that David.

It's a glass and metal alloy curtain wall NOT cladding - it has a melt temperature of 600C which is lower than it's burn temperature.<br />
Are you back on the Estate again Iain?<br />
I know you were keen to get back if you could?
