Sheffield city council announces on twitter that they will be installing sprinkers in all of their 24 tower blocks. Though it's a pity it took the deaths of approx 100 people at Grenfell Tower in Kensington for SCC to do what they should have done many years ago, espcially in the wake of the 2009 Lakanal House tower block fire. Also, no time table was given for when the installaiton of sprinkers will be completed. Is it tasked as a matter of urgency i.e. within a couple of months, or will the council put their feet up and take several years?

However as my recent video pointed out, this raises another issue, what about the other approx 100 Sheffield tower blocks? How many of those lack sprinkler systems?
