The last renovation work was visible, done to make the tower more

Unless you wish to reduce the area of what are already in many cases quite
small rooms by fitting the insulation internally, the only option is to
fit it outside. And any such insulation requires a facing of some sort
just to protect it from the elements. It would be a very perverse person
who required this cladding to be less attractive than the original
concrete. To say it was merely to improve looks for nearby residents is
nonsense, because any normal person will get pleasure out of living in a
nice looking building over a tatty one. So it could be said to serve three
purposes all at the same cost. Even more reasons not to penny pinch on it.



The media have been
directed to criticise this, taking the flak away from council failure
specify install water tanks, install sprinklers, and perform regular
maintenance.
