The fire service have said they found 'no significant issues' at a city building where the developer stripped 160 units of furnishings.
Developer Elliot Lawless, who bought the Paramount building in November 2019, recently told the ECHO that he oversaw the removal of furniture and fittings from 160 rooms because the fixtures were a fire hazard. Mr Lawless also said that there was no sprinkler system and that the cladding had been condemned following the Grenfell disaster.
Last week Merseyside Fire and Rescue released a statement on the building. A spokesperson said: "Merseyside Fire & Rescue Service carried out a Fire Safety Audit of the Paramount building in 2019, under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, with no significant issues identified.
