Grenfell Inquiry chair Sir Martin Moore-Bick unveiled his phase one report today, 30 October 2019. He made a series of recommendations under 17 separate headings that will have a major impact on the housing sector if they are adopted.
They include the development of evacuation plans for all high rises – including personally developed plans for residents who would struggle to evacuate themselves and the provision of alarm systems.
The judge also recommended an “urgent” inspection of fire doors in all properties with separate dwellings – not just high rises.
