According to Manx Radio three days ago: DESC [is] 'not aware' of any schools made using concrete 'prone to collapse'. And of course Jason Moorhouse has asked some questions. You needed to ask?

Zarley Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 4 minutes ago, thommo2010 said: Funny how it only seems to be schools that have been affected I heard (on BBC I think) over the weekend that it's also some hospitals and care homes, as well as some private commercial buildings from the same era. Wasn't the old Royal hospital in Liverpool made of it and the primary reason it had to be replaced? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there are more schools than there are of those, so defects are more likely to happen at a school. The main problem isn't so much with the system itself, but that the appropriate maintenance hasn't been done over the years. But as the Isle of Man Government has always be famous for its diligent maintenance, I'm sure there's nothing to worry about. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No longer meets modern standards. Part of redevelopment of the health campus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doc.fixit Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Once again the instigators of the use of this material to cut costs, will get away with it just like the cladding saga and many other supposed mistakes. When will the real culprits ever be held accountable? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And of course Jason Moorhouse has asked some questions. You needed to ask? Of course both Jason Moorehouse and Tim Glover will be delighted if Castle Rushen HS was made with RAAC components, then they could justifiably step up their campaign for a new school. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
