Resident of block with missing cavity barriers and wooden balconies says she faces bankruptcy by end of year
Liz Vick doesn’t rest easily in her apartment. She is one of 270 households in the Lamba Court complex in Salford and has recently contributed £3,000 to the cost of a temporary fire alarm system to avoid the need for night watch patrols to give early warnings of fires.
“I don’t sleep well,” the 32-year-old account manager said. “Fire alarms go off through the night. I can’t tell you the feeling when a fire alarm goes off and you know you are in a flammable flat and you have 15 minutes to get out before the building burns down.”
