The report, which can be found on pages 41 – 48, was presented by Tom Scriven.

Referring to the Grenfell incident in North Kensington in 2017, the Vice-chair commented that one of the issues had been that the windows and cladding had not been fitted together well. He sought clarification on whether the fitting for the work to be undertaken for the windows and cladding would be managed at the same time to ensure the correct fitting. He also asked if the windows project and cladding project were separate projects or if it would be managed in tandem. Tom Scriven answered that before any work could be undertaken, it had to comply with building regulations. He went on to say that the service was working with Essex Fire Safety to ensure that the materials were appropriate and safe. Adding on, Leigh Nicholson explained that the windows project and cladding project would be managed in tandem which was part of the works refurbishment on some of Thurrock’s tower blocks which had been heard at Planning Committee on 13 August 2020.

 

Councillor Rice welcomed the application and hoped it would be completed before the winter season.
