The insurers who paid out following the Morgan Academy fire have said they will not review the claim.
Norwich Union, which is now part of Aviva, made a payment following the fire that destroyed the historic school 13 years ago. It later cost £20 million to rebuild.
But witness testimony, brought to light by The Courier, suggests that there may not have been a safety plan in place before work started on the roof of the building.
However, a spokesman for Aviva said: “We were satisfied with the investigations at the time of the fire and we have no plans to look into this matter again.”
The last man off the roof of the Morgan Academy before the fire recently broke his 13-year silence on the matter.
The roofer, now 70, said that the fire “had haunted (him) for years” and insists that “a huge injustice” had been done to him. He also believes he was used as a scapegoat by the council.
The roof felter revealed he lodged a freedom of information request and discovered that, in a witness statement to the police, it was stated no safety plan for the work was in place before it started.
The manager responsible for maintenance programmes for property, owned by the council’s education department, said in the witness statement that despite repeated requests from him to the contractor, no safety plan was received before the fire.
