One resident said huge beams of wood fell on the pavement when a balcony collapsed last year.
Major structural flaws in balconies on a housing estate built by the multinational firm Bouygues UK have been found in a BBC investigation after one collapsed last year and concerns were raised about three others.
Health worker Angelo Fiorillo and his wife Laura, an early years teacher at a local nursery, poured their life savings into an affordable apartment on the Weavers Quarter, on the Gascoigne estate in 2019.But the couple are now among hundreds prevented from using their balcony after what happened in November.
Samples were sent to the BioComposites Centre at Bangor University, one of the leading biological materials laboratories in the UK. The multinational company with a UK wing is ranked in the top five construction firms in terms of value of their projects over the last 12 months in the UK, with a total of £1.5bn in contracts, according to Glenigans, a construction intelligence firm.
