Tenants of a plush block of flats in Devonport who were evacuated over fire safety concerns have been allowed to return to their homes.

Work is underway to replace flammable cladding at one of Ipswich’s tallest residential blocks – three years after problems were first uncovered.
Scaffolding went up at the 52m-high St Francis Tower, in Franciscan Way, in March and now contractors are on site to remove the remaining cladding material – a high pressure laminate (HPL), different to that on Grenfell –which had been covering around 45% of the building.
The current owners of the block first discovered a fire safety issue in summer 2018 when, following the Grenfell disaster, they commissioned an independent test and found its HPL cladding posed a risk.
