In July 2016, the Government held a consultation on the BB100 document, saying “it needed simplifying and it was far too long.”
One month later, the Department for Education announced it was dropping the expectation that new schools should be fitted with sprinklers.
The rule introduced by Labour stated:
“That it is now our expectation that all new schools will have sprinklers fitted.”
The Tories’ amended document says:
“The Building Regulations do not require the installation of fire sprinkler suppression systems in school buildings for life safety and therefore BB 100 no longer includes an expectation that most new school buildings will be fitted with them.”
Education Secretary Justine Greening took decision just a week after a major fire at a school in Chichester which destroyed 15 classrooms before being put out by a team of 75 firefighters.
The announcement appears to have disappeared from the Government’s website, but the widespread criticism of the decision remains…
These Tory cunts are playing with your safety.
