fire door retrofitting
No specific updates on the fire door retrofitting project have been reported recently, though Barking and Dagenham Council is addressing broader housing safety.
No specific developments regarding the fire door retrofitting project, which involves replacing and upgrading fire doors in Barking and Dagenham Council's housing stock, have been reported in recent council discussions. However, the council is currently overhauling its tenant engagement structures and preparing for an inspection by the Regulator of Social Housing, as an update to the Overview and Scrutiny Committee stated in October 2026.
This broader initiative aims to enhance housing services and rectify issues related to housing safety, compliance, and tenant involvement. These efforts follow a self-referral to the Regulator of Social Housing in 2022, prompted by an independent review.
