Stockport Homes Fire Safety Crisis

from Manchester News Today | The Daily News Now!

Stockport Homes faces a fire safety crisis after an independent report exposed years of systemic failures — missing fire doors, ignored ventilation risks, and fake progress reports — leaving residents terrified and a £5 million backlog unresolved. Scrutiny hearings revealed broken governance and missed deadlines, prompting a self-referral to regulators. While costs for emergency safety measures were criticized as wasteful, officials credit recent improvements and transparency. With urgent fixes underway and recommendations being implemented, the focus is now on restoring trust and preventing future disasters.
