Due to central government cuts, local authorities cannot afford to install sprinkler systems in tower blocks full of families.

Everything is done on the cheap these days.
Anyone noticed the state of the roads ?, potholes all over the shop.
The company who provides the lowest quote wins the contract to fill them in.
With the result, the potholes are back with the first sign of winter frost.
That’s Capitalism for ya.
