A whistleblower reported that hundreds of homes managed by Populo Living in east London missed crucial fire safety checks for years. Documents indicate several properties, including the Plaistow Hub with two tower blocks, lacked basic fire assessments. The whistleblower noted that vital tests, like fire door checks and automatic opening vent checks, were overdue or never conducted, raising serious safety concerns. Despite raising alarms, the whistleblower claims they were forced out of their job, drawing parallels to the Grenfell fire tragedy and advocating for better maintenance practices to ensure resident safety.
A former employee of Populo Living claims a string of essential safety checks appeared to be outstanding, that these were potentially putting people's lives at risk.
You're [potentially] compromising people's safety, there should be someone, a qualified contractor, that should have been checking key areas of statutory compliance.
If something went down, it [could] be like Grenfell, as no one took any notice [that safety was potentially being compromised] until something happened.
It's one of those things that people start shoving blames and saying, it's him and her', and [hypothetically] the directors and CEOs start getting involved.
