Next week, rules come into effect for residents who live in high rise buildings and would struggle to evacuate in an emergency. Seven years since the Grenfell Inquiry recommended this change, I've dug into what it means and why it's still controversial: insidehousing.co.uk/insight/reside…

Is the government-backed standard on building remediation making people safe, or allowing developers to dodge responsibility for dangerous buildings? Long read for Inside Housing here: insidehousing.co.uk/news/redraft-o…
