Falling Glass from Alexandra Tower Liverpool - update


This was in the press March 10th 2010

The managing agents of the Alexandra Tower building in Princes Parade were last night ordered to undertake the task after a 100kg glass sheet shattered and fell to the ground.

Now the funny thing is, nearly two years later and the safety scaffolding around the building, preventing more 100kg glass panels hitting the ground with full force is still up and only yesterday, a letter was delievered to all occupants, that the safety inspection (ordered 2 years ago) is now taking place.

If the bulding was safe from more falling glass, then wouldnt it be logical to remove the eye sore that is a ring of scaffolding around the building?

Another question for would be residents is this:

Do you want to live in a building that when 100kg glass panels fall off it, those that manage and own the building have so much respect for the residents, and their safety that after two years, no progress is made?

If the powers that be dont seem to be too bothered to act and reassure residents about 100kg glass panels falling, do you think that they give a damn about smaller issues which dont mean life or death, but whether you enjoy living in the building?
