'The disturbing irony of this case is that work to protect residents from fire risk ended up making the situation more dangerous.'

A company exposed workers and residents to "serious risk" at a Liverpool project after it made the same mistake it already had before in London.

Combustible cladding, similar to the type of material well known following the Grenfell Tower fire tragedy, was also found lying on the scaffolding and on residents' balconies. Green Facades Limited appeared last week at Liverpool Magistrates' Court, with the ECHO previously reporting how the company, hired to make the flats safe, had only put residents more at risk.

Mr Reynolds said the Liverpool project "mirrored the failures" previously shown. He added it was a "systematic failure as a company" and a "failure to comply with its duties". Ms Renton added the company, who were represented in court by director Bledar Pashollari, should be entitled to credit due to its guilty pleas. The company of Woolwich Road, London pleaded guilty to breaching regulations 11 and 13 of the Construction Regulations 2015.
