Fire Safety - Flat door replacements

Posts to Barbican Talk pointed out that the matter of the fire safety of the doors to flats had come up in the 16th March BRC committee meeting. See item 10 on page 5 of the (draft) minutes:

The Assistant Director, Barbican and Property Services reported that some extensive destructive fire testing had taken place with doors tested in their existing and upgraded state. However, even those that were upgraded did not meet the required standard and the recommendation was that these therefore be replaced. The advice of Counsel had been sought on this matter and the advice received had indicated that lessees could not be charged for improvements. The cost of replacement would therefore need to be met by the City of London Corporation.
