Refurb plans for council blocks over safety issues
Briefly

Proposals for a pilot refurbishment project on two residential blocks within the Broadwater Farm estate, Tottenham, follow safety concerns identified in a 2018 structural survey. Over several years, residents raised alarms about the risk of collapse associated with the estate's Large Panel System construction. The proposed pilot targets enhancements in structural integrity, fire safety, and energy efficiency, while also upgrading communal areas. A resident ballot yielded significant support for new developments, and steps are already underway with some blocks being demolished and gas supplies removed.
The refurbishment project aims to address safety concerns at Broadwater Farm estate, following a structural survey that revealed risks of collapse in hundreds of homes.
Planning documents highlight fire safety and structural strengthening as primary design drivers for the refurbishment of the Broadwater Farm estate.
