The Tenant Services Authority (TSA) will no longer be developing a national register of tower blocks following the Government’s recommendations for how social housing is regulated. The Review of Regulation carried out by CLG this summer concluded that the TSA should adopt a co-regulatory approach which places the emphasis and responsibility on the Registered Provider and its governing body (boards and committees) to ensure compliance with the TSA Standards including specific requirements linked to the health and safety of tenants. Against this background, the TSA has taken the view that it should no longer develop or coordinate a national register of tower blocks. It said it's satisfied that tenants’ interests are "safeguarded" through the current regulatory framework, the powers held by the statutory enforcement bodies and the complementary powers of the TSA to deal with non compliance with the regulatory framework and the TSA Standards.
