Most councils' building safety checks 'substandard' - report

From Morning Report, 7:21 am on 5 March 2018

An official new report shows two thirds of councils surveyed are doing substandard safety checks on buildings. Some have failed to issue a single order to get deficient buildings fixed for six or more years - which officials put down to being too 'friendly' with building owners. But the Ministry says it can't force the councils to improve.
