Ipswich Borough Council is continuing to review its fire safety protection arrangements in the wake of the Grenfell Tower fire.
The Council owns one tower block in the town, the 12-storey Cumberland Towers in Norwich Road. Residents have been reassured by the fact that the building itself and the proposed cladding were completely different to Grenfell Tower.
Cumberland Towers was inspected by a joint team from Suffolk Fire & Rescue Service and our own Building Control service last month and an independent fire safety assessment has also been carried out there. Neither inspection raised fire safety concerns.
Suffolk Fire & Rescue Service and Building Control have carried out inspections of buildings of four storeys and over, including Borough Council-owned housing.
