, many buildings with dangerous cladding still have 24-hour fire safety patrols - introduced originally as a temporary measure. Now, thousands more homeowners are being forced to pay for waking watches with no end in sight.
In November 2017, when people in high-vis jackets arrived at Ritu Saha s block in Bromley, south-east London, she was told not to worry: they d be gone by January.
Three years and about £500,000 of charges to flat owners in the block later, they are still there.
