London tower block tenants endure six-year scaffolding ordeal
Security fears and disrepair mount as landlord blames regulator delays for stalled cladding work
Residents of the Archway Heights tower block in Islington have lived under scaffolding for more than six years, originally erected for post-Grenfell cladding works. Tenants accuse landlord Places for People of leaving them in the dark as the structure attracts intruders and anti-social behaviour. The housing association says it cannot proceed until the Building Safety Regulator grants consent.
