Hundreds of people were kicked out of their homes just days before Christmas after a fire service report ‘evacuated’ a city centre tower block.
Residents of Bracken House, on Charles Street, have been staying in hotels since December 22 because a fire risk assessment (FRA) found that work needed doing ‘urgently’ to make the building safe. However, one insider who managed the building previously has told the Manchester Evening News that the issues have been around for years, in some cases .
It’s meant that the insider is sceptical about a promised return date of January 8. That being said, building managers Inspired Property Management (IPM), say they are working to ‘remediation plans as quickly as possible’.
