Yesterday evening a balcony collapsed in onto the street in my apartment building, just 4 years after construction.
The building, whose freeholder is Barking & Dagenham Council, was constructed by @BouyguesUK on behalf of @lbbdcouncil ‘s social and affordable housing company, BD Reside.
All 414 properties are now considered “unsafe” and we will need to erect scaffolding in across the entire estate to keep ourselves and the public safe.

@jessicaelgot Jessica - surely this contributes to gross misconduct and negligence. Concealing information that lead to harm and death. All for a few £££
This is reminiscent of the Soviet era. We live in a country where lies and empty rhetoric has infected our politicians, who no longer dare speak not just the truth but sense. UK’s economic growth plan ‘made possible’ by Brexit, says Jeremy Hunt https://t.co/qsvsVH6oI0
