The building is covered in scaffolding as work takes place.

There are calls for a rent reduction at a Salford tower block with "excruciating" noise due to fire safety works.

Kevin De Vulder, 52, who has lived in Thorn Court since 2010, said tenants have been "treated like dirt" during the works, and that the only escape from the sound of building work is a room in Pendelton Together's office. "A lot of the residents are young families or older people who don't have the energy to deal with it. A lot of them have just given up and accepted this is how they will be treated because it's council property, or social housing.He also raised concerns about residents facing higher energy bills after the work left the building exposed to cold weather, and security issues, saying that his front door was replaced around three weeks ago and the key was left in the outside keyhole.

"I completely accept that this might not regularly suit Mr De Vulder but I’m sure he appreciates that we are trying to accommodate as many needs as possible. "We completely understand the frustration and share a desire for these works to be completed as soon as possible.
