The OP Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 I'm quite concerned that the grey tower blocks opposite my flat are being covered in some more aesthetically pleasing white cladding. The last thing I need is Akala and Lily Allen giving me pelters for causing multiple deaths by wanting a nicer view out of my window. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would describe the mood of the people there as incandescent. There is a long and bitter history between these communities and the council that still appears to be only doing the absolute minimum to keep the press of their backs. But I am sure someone in, where is it you are again, has a better read on this than me. Shepherd's Bush. And I was correct 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajwffc Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 It would be hydrogen Cyanide(HCN) that would be the gas released when the cladding burned 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, filled with cyanide releasing materials. So in essence, a big, flammable, cyanide releasing death trap. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But more importantly it looked prettier from the posh flats, Isn't that the most important aspect of choosing the cladding? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boghead ranter Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Allegedly over 600 buildings identified as having iffy cladding already, according to reports. 3 with the same cladding as Grenfel Tower. Govt not naming them specifically yet, to avoid creating panic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
