Ineptly handled once again by the powers that be.

Nowt’s crashing on kid’s heads today, tomorrow or next week. A maintenance and/or replace program initiated five years ago would have sorted this whole problem by now. Could have run it through lockdown when schools were closed anyway.

Now we’ve got unnecessary and irrational panic and mass inconvenience for children, parents, school managers and teachers which should all have been avoided.

Incompetence at the top level doesn’t even come close to covering it.
It’s almost as if some people decided to look the other way and hope people might forget

Indeed. First came to light in 1995. Two parties have had 13 years in power each since then.

First came to light when they first used it. Apparently everyone in civil engineering knew it was only good for 35 years.
The romans managed to build stuff that still stands 2000 years later, now we are building things with less than 50 years life span.

There's concrete buildings in the UK that are over 200 years old, including one on the middle of the North Sea, this is a specific light weight concrete developed for flat rooves that's apparently failing.

My point is that they knew this stuff had a short life span when they first used it. Therefore it should come as no surprise.

Jaz bar opened after taking over Kyber restaurant, a few years later the space above it was converted to apartments. The knobs that moved to them then complained to the council about the loud music from Jaz Bar, enforcement officers told them to turn the music down. :emoticon-0125-mmm:
