Following the tragedy at Grenfell Tower, we have been reviewing fire safety systems and procedures. Fire safety has always been a high priority for the council and all tower blocks have an up-to-date fire risk assessment in place.
Fire risk assessments are carried out every year on high-rise tower blocks, above five-storeys, while low-rise blocks are reviewed every three years. This is what the law currently states councils must do.
Following the fire in West London, we want to give our residents as much reassurance as possible about the fire safety of their home, by publishing summary fire risk assessments to demonstrate the steps we are taking to keep people safe.
