fire safety works
Haringey and Wandsworth councils are investing in fire safety works and housing improvements to meet regulatory requirements.
Haringey Council is currently investing in fire safety measures at Broadwater Farm, with an approved £690,000 in December 2025. This funding is intended to ensure essential fire safety work continues and to procure a longer-term contract to manage and complete new actions within target timescales. The council had previously self-reported high-priority overdue actions from fire risk assessments to the Regulator for Social Housing.
Wandsworth Council is also addressing fire safety as part of a broader £6.8 million investment in housing improvements across the borough, approved in November 2025. This aims to enhance the safety and quality of existing council homes and meet new regulatory requirements. These fire safety works are undertaken by councils to ensure compliance with fire safety regulations.
