Support high rise residential residents with the removal of unsafe cladding

Conservative Party Manifesto 2019, p.31And we will support high rise residential residents with the removal of unsafe cladding...
Our verdict
- Following the fire at Grenfell Tower in London in June 2017, this is a promise to offer support to occupants of high-rise residences with the removal of unsafe cladding from their buildings.
- In May 2020, the government announced a Building Safety Fund to remove dangerous cladding, but the Housing, Communities and Local Government Committee has since said:
“It is clear that the new £1 billion Building Safety Fund will not be sufficient to remediate all 1,700 buildings with combustible non-ACM cladding above 18 metres.”
- The government has provided limited support, but in light of the select committee’s findings, this policy remains ‘in progress’.
There's always room for debate
