Ten blocks of older towers have been identified through the municipality for the main works, which will bring them closer to the new fire regulations.
They include Elizabeth House, Mountbatten House, Victoria House, Edinburgh House, Uphavering House, Parkview House, Overstatie House, Kipling Towers and Dryden Towers.
The Council says that it wants to guarantee the “continuous security” of its homes and that they adhere to the Security Law of the 2022 building, which was approved after the fatal Grenfell Tower Fire in 2017.
The cabinet voted to start the bidding process at a meeting on Wednesday (April 9), in order to start working this time next year.
May 2027 has been given as the date of completion of the objective, but the Council says it is a “strict timeline” and is based on several factors that work without problems.
Workers will install sprinklers, new LD1 fire alarms, ventilation systems and starting measures through each tower.
The most exensive project will be to restore Highfield Tower, a block of 16 floors high to 76 homes, which is priced at £ 7.5 million.
Replacing 30 -year rain testing will also improve the isolation of the building, which according to the Council could lead to lower energy invoices.

The Council says that it is “essential” that the works are completed, to fulfill their duties as a responsible owner, but also avoid fines for breach.
However, the officers warned in a report published last week that the “complex” works can be “harmful” for residents.
The leader of the labor group, Keith Darvill, urged the Council to consult the councilors of the Chamber during the process.
