Barton House evacuated after ‘fault’ in fire alarm system

“Major structural faults” were discovered in the council-owned tower because concrete had not been fitted correctly.

A structural engineer concluded the building, which was built in 1958, would not withstand any high impact, fire or explosion.

Over the course of several months, “essential work” was completed to improve safety.

Missing structural ties to connect floors and walls were put in place.

Layers of blockwork and cement were also added where the cover was at its thinnest, in a bid to provide extra protection.

Additional fire proofing was also added in 42 flats, and a central alarm system was installed for the whole building.
