Why did it take 5 years to shut unsafe schools?

Schools have been ordered to close unsafe classrooms five years after the danger was exposed, the Daily Express reports.

The paper asks why it has taken “five years to shut unsafe” buildings, claiming it has been that long since the “danger” of RAAC was put to the relevant officials. 

Elsewhere, the front page reports on the latest round of strikes calling it “more NHS misery” along with an image of consultants holding placards with messages about their pay.
