The cost of fire safety measures which councils and housing associations plan to introduce to high-rise buildings following the Grenfell Tower fire has now reached at least £600 million, research has identified.
The figure, given in BBC research, is likely to be an underestimate because many public and private landlords in the UK are still calculating their budget for safety works prompted by the tragedy six months ago.
