There was a load of checks done by the council and it was passed off ok. But as was pointed out it would be very difficult to look at the cladding and say it was flammable or unflammable, so it's gonna come down to who approved the purchase of the cladding that's not meant to be used on buidlings above a certain height. Are the builders or architects repsonsible for using that cladding? 

Now all the residents complaints about the building and it's fire issues are a separate matter all together. I'd imagine that they weren't even aware of the cladding that was used. 

One final thing the council spent £10million, which is £83,000 per apartment, so they can not be accused of spending neglect, but was it just they refused to listen to anything the residents were saying and just went about it with the attitude of 'shut up we no best'??

Just resigned as council leader. Pressure must have been put on from No.10 they weren't happy with his antics last night

Just watching the report on C4 news on the enquiry's findings. I'm no engineer but the amount of combustible/flammable materials & cladding used in the renovation of the building in 2016 seems to be crazy. 

Are they just cheaper materials to use in in construction/renovations of buildings?

Wings? They're only the band The Beatles could have been.

No, the more combustible/flammable materials are much more expensive.
