Wandsworth social housing block residents warn of 'death trap' conditions

Postby Community Editor » Fri Feb 22, 2019 10:15 am

Residents of a six-year-old block of flats in Wandsworth are warning that they are living in a “death trap” and fear a catastrophe similar to the Grenfell Tower fire.

The block's managers have reassured residents that Clyde House, Putney, is safe and secure.

A2Dominion, which manage the block, has had to move some residents to temporary accommodation to conduct repairs and has covered costs and expenses incurred by residents from the incidents.

Clyde House is a block of social housing, with 62 flats over eight floors, built as part of a private housing development. Some of the properties are reserved for people with special needs.

Residents claim Clyde House, which was developed by Barratt Homes, was constructed with shoddy materials, and that the surrounding blocks were better built and have been properly maintained.
