Following the fire incident on August 15, significant updates are being made to the balconies and roof terraces in St Mark's Square to ensure safety compliance.
Cllr Colin Smith mentioned that although the existing treated timber cladding complied with safety regulations during the fire, recent enhancements in fire safety standards deem it inadequate.
Developers LandsecU+I stated that the timber cladding performed well in containing the fire, but acknowledged the need for replacement to align with improved fire safety practices.
Residents displaced by the August fire were relocated far from their homes, showcasing the severe impact of the recurring fire incidents in St Mark's Square.
