  • Residents of Archway Heights have lived under scaffolding for six years after a cladding piece fell in 2020.
  • People for Places' 2024 application for Building Safety Regulator approval was invalidated, requiring further information.
  • The regulator demanded additional details, leading to a resubmitted application in January 2025 and continued delays.
  • Residents say intruders appear weekly on the scaffolding, with CCTV capturing five men and rough sleepers using the cycle store.
