The 35-storey block with single staircase is the second tower this month rethought after criticism
A second residential skyscraper is going back to the drawing board after the Guardian exposed safety fears over plans to provide only one fire escape staircase.
Plans for a 35-storey block with a single staircase, 400 metres from Grenfell Tower in west London, are being rethought after the design was called “madness” by a fire safety expert and attacked as “shocking” by Grenfell United, which represents the survivors and bereaved of the 14 June 2017 fire that killed 72 people.
