In the aftermath of the tragedy at Grenfell in London in which many lives were lost, City West Housing Trust has opted to install sprinkler systems in all twelve of its Tower Blocks in Eccles.
The programme of work, which will see sprinklers fitted within apartments and in communal areas, has been approved by ForViva’s (the group which City West Housing Trust is a part of) Board following consultation with fire safety experts and regional fire and rescue services.
Work to install the sprinklers will be underway before the end of the year.
City West Housing Trust will be contacting residents living in the high-rise buildings to confirm when work will start.
Tim Doyle, Group Chief Executive for ForViva, said:

“The safety of customers is an absolute priority for the group. That is why we have taken the decision to carry out this programme of work, which will provide peace of mind for customers living in high-rise blocks.
“We will continue to work with customers throughout the process and make sure they are aware when work will be starting in their homes.”
