Why is this important?
Lots of buildings in the 1960’s were built using RAAC concrete, commonly referred to as “crumbling concrete”. It has also been nicknamed Aero Bar, after the chocolate bar that contains pockets of air. Experts say its lifespan is only around 30 to 40 years. Buildings should have been repaired or replaced, but a succession of Prime Ministers have passed the buck or refused to fix the problem.
More than a 100 schools have been forced to shut because of safety concerns. And it could get worse with fears that as more of this weak concrete is discovered it could lead to closures of courts, police stations and even hospitals.
Rishi Sunak says he’s not to blame and the Government is failing to grasp the magnitude of the problem of unsafe concrete in the UK’s public buildings. The Government to stop passing the buck and get to work and solve the concrete crisis.
