Over 100 London tower blocks may have safety issues
Briefly

Safety concerns surrounding high-rise residential buildings constructed with Large Panel Systems (LPS) in London are longstanding and well-documented, yet many residents remain unaware of these risks.
The dangerous legacy of Large Panel System buildings stems from their known vulnerabilities, including susceptibility to collapse under explosion and developing structural defects over time.
Following notable incidents like the Grenfell Tower fire and previous collapses, LPS buildings have increasingly come under scrutiny for fire and structural safety, amplifying the urgency for assessments.
Local authorities in London manage over 130 LPS residential tower blocks, with significant safety oversights highlighted, including the existence of gas systems in many of these structures.
