Families will be written to about the repairs plan and there will be an opportunity for a face-to-face meeting with the project team on how the temporary reduction in capacity will be managed.
Flaking paint on the timber boarding is making it “unsightly”, the report stated. It was “pre-treated under factory conditions to inhibit surface spread of flame”, but this is “making it complex to decorate whilst maintaining the spread of flame guarantee”.
