A written question submitted last year confirmed investigations took place across the city ahead of current crisis
More than a dozen Liverpool schools were identified as being constructed with potentially crumbling concrete more than a year ago.
It emerged last week that around 100 schools throughout the UK would be ordered to close their doors on the eve of the new school term after concerns arose regarding aerated concrete used in construction that is liable to sudden collapse.A question was submitted by former councillor Alan Tormey last year asking the then cabinet member for strategic development and housing - Cllr Sarah Doyle - if the local authority had sent back a government issued survey on RAAC in school roofs.
Earlier this week, director of education Mr Jones confirmed the four unnamed schools in the city were now being investigated for the presence of RAAC but said this did not guarantee any would be found. A site run by a multi-academy trust operating in Liverpool had also had to close off an area to the public owing to concerns over its building work.
Mr Jones said should any remedial works be required at the sites in Liverpool, costs would be covered by the government. Any contingencies would then fall under the city council’s jurisdiction.
