The controversial refurbishment of flat blocks in Stevenage has caused further contention after a council contractor instructed residents to leave their homes for an eight-hour period during lockdown, before issuing an apology after the Comet stepped in.
The Major Refurbishment Contract of all 550 low and medium-rise flat blocks owned by Stevenage Borough Council includes structural repairs in many cases. With an average estimated bill of £14,000 per flat for leaseholders, the works are causing widespread financial concerns, and the standard of work has been criticised.
