Camden flats: hundreds of homes evacuated over fire risk fears - BBC News
Ok, got it. So the stuff's been up for years. Given a bad set of circumstances there is a possibility of it all going up quickly if a fire broke out that managed to ignite the outside of the building like Grenfell.
So to mitigate that risk, we'll remove the cladding for M's of quid and then have to replace with something else. Makes sense. Fair.
So that's three blocks, 800 families you need to find accomodation for while you do this.
So let's assume 800 families need 1200 hotel rooms say. That;s going to be on London rates (discounted of course) 100 quid a night, plus food, discomfort etc, so 200 quid a night.
1200 x 200 = 240k per night in the private sector per night, to ensure that everyone is safe.
My question would be, how much to stick a fire engine with six fireman patrolling the building 24 hours per day for each tower which would have the same coverage / impact 'just in case'?
