More than 40 firms have put pen to paper on government initiative

Ballymore is the latest housebuilder to sign the government鈥檚 building safety contract, after originally missing last Monday鈥檚 deadline.

The firm issued a statement on Friday afternoon, saying it had now signed up.

The Irish-based developer joins Telford Homes and London Square that have since put pen to paper on the pledge after housing secretary Michael Gove last Tuesday threatened to put those firms that had not signed the pledge out of business.
