Shropshire Council has vowed to publish all assessments of schools and public buildings it owns, to help allay fears over crumbling concrete.
A motion calling for the authority to take the step was unanimously backed by councillors who said parents were in need of urgent reassurance as to their children’s safety amid concerns over RAAC.
The motion also commits the council to put together a schedule of preventative maintenance for any buildings previously graded ‘C’. The motion was seconded by Councillor Dean Carroll, Conservative cabinet member for housing and assets, who said investigations were well underway. “So far the only building that has been confirmed to have RAAC present, as has been previously announced, is Whitchurch Civic Centre and Library.
