Interested to read the post above about cutting corners in building works

Think also that a big part of the problem is to do with the lack of accountability of local authorities, and their unwillingness to listen to tenants associations. They continually ignored warnings from Grenfell resident association

I disengage, I turn the page.

How else do they keep the growlights and fans going?
