Following frantic alterations to handrails, door closers and other items we were visited again today by the Building Control Officer.

I am pleased to say that most of our changes are acceptable and the Officer is willing to allow us to occupy the building subject to completion of a range of items: manifestations, balustrade heights and more work to handrails and fitting door openers to the two 24-hour access doors which are too heavy for disabled people to open.

Sadly, he confirmed that we need to fit lobbies on every landing to make the lifts into evacuation standard, so that is more work to be done after we have moved in.

Finally, the heavy rain has revealed a leak in the roof above staircase 2, creating an attractive waterfall down the stairs!
