Residents of eight tower blocks in Thamesmead, including Royal Artillery Quays, express frustration over incomplete fire risk remediation efforts. Since 2022, investigations by Urban Change cited dangerous defects, such as poor installation of exterior wall insulation and missing fire break fixings. Although developer Barratt Developments has pledged to address these issues without cost to residents, concerns remain about internal wall safety and planning inadequacies after over five years of campaigning for safer living conditions.
"Residents have campaigned for over five years for safety improvements after multiple investigations labeled their homes as having a high fire risk due to poor workmanship."
"Urban Change's 2022 assessment highlighted critical defects in the buildings, including missing or improperly spaced fire break fixings, which significantly increase fire risk."
