An ALMO which is facing the threat of being brought back in-house by its council claims it has fitted the first tenanted tower block in England with a sprinkler system. Three-star ALMO Sheffield Homes - which manages 42,000 homes on behalf of the council - said it was "very proud" that its Callow Mount Sheltered Scheme had been recognised. However, Sheffield Council's cabinet met in October to discuss the recommendation that the management of its housing stock be brought back under council control. If agreed, tenants would then be consulted with an independent consultation in February. The work to fit the sprinkler system has come directly after the completion of over 12 months of decent homes investment work at the scheme and just weeks before district heating upgrade work was carried out on the building.
