Administrative/biographical history

Founded in the 1980s as the National Tower Blocks Network, they regrouped in 2017 as Tower Blocks UK - a hub for sharing information and resources with groups and individuals who live in, or are concerned about tower block housing safety issues in the UK. Their aims are to:

• Support tenants and residents to be heard by providing more opportunities to exert pressure on decision-makers to prevent continued inadequate action and ongoing risk.
• Extend the services that they provide to include online information resources, pro-forma systems for implementing housing rights and open fire safety and structural data.
• Share examples of good practice in tackling tower block safety problems, from tenants and residents and landlords.
