Homes for Haringey did not carry out an intrusive
inspection on a high-rise tower, despite a report in 2014 warning doing so
could uncover safety issues. Residents will be evacuated from Tangmere House on
the Broadwater Farm estate in Tottenham due to longstanding issues with the
safety of the block’s structure. But Inside Housing has obtained a document
which shows a structural assessment of this block carried out in 2014 reported
cracks in walls throughout the building. The report added: “Latent defects may
exist in the structure which can only be discovered by a further more detailed
investigation.” Read more on Inside Housing.
