Any advice please?

Hi all. This is a council property. We had a lot of water damage. Originally, the council said they’d take the plaster off and put new plaster on and wallpaper. A lot of mention of ‘tie in’.
Apparently the plan has changed. They may remove the wallpaper and skim it. I’d like to make sure it’s not a money saving exercise. From what you see here, (I know it’s limited, but I daren’t remove the wallpaper myself) what do you think?

Strip off

100%

That does not look a healthy room to be living in.

That’s what I thought the plan was. Do you think I’ve misunderstood? I thought they have now said they could chip back a bit and skim? is that even possible, and if they did do that, how long would that be lasting? Thanks for your advice.

All off and go again.

Stopping and blending is not great, eventually the plaster will outlive the paper.......
