"We've all got the same cladding, it was done at the same time, they're going to renew the cladding of the external stairwell of the tower block to ensure safety for people exiting - but not here, we can fry," the 75-year-old said.Social housing provider Northamptonshire Partnership Homes said people in Alliston Gardens were being given the latest information
The widow, who has lived in the three storey block since 2001, added: "If there's a fire externally and we couldn't get out of the doors, I couldn't get out of the window on my own, I'd never be able to climb up... the windows don't open wide enough."
