Angela Rayner highlighted the urgent necessity to accelerate the removal of unsafe cladding from buildings, stressing that the current remedial pace is unacceptable given past tragedies.
Rayner, during her visit, stated, "We have identified 4,630 buildings that do have the cladding on. Over 50% of them have already started the remediation work. This was one of those buildings that had started that but this is too slow for me. We need to hurry it up."
In light of the recent fire incident, Rayner remarked, "This must have been incredibly triggering for the survivors of the Grenfell Tower fire. We can't continue for another seven years. We've got to do this very quickly, because these are people's homes, and people deserve to feel safe in their own home."
Dame Judith Hackitt emphasized that action is necessary, stating, "The government needs to step up the pace of remediation and holding those who are responsible to account for doing so."
