The Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames has approved an additional £2.9 million to complete fire safety works across its housing stock.

The investment is part of the council's ongoing commitment to ensuring the safety of its residents and bringing all properties up to current regulatory standards. The funds will be directed towards a range of fire protection measures in the borough's housing assets.

This allocation is the latest in a series of investments by the council to enhance fire safety. Industry professionals in the region can anticipate potential tenders and contracts related to fire system upgrades and maintenance as the borough moves to implement these works.
