#claddingscandal

In a week where British political parties seem to be pledging billions, why are 17,000 households in Britain *still* living with dangerous flammable cladding - where are the pledges to fix this crisis, & fast?

“There is an extreme level of anxiety. There are elderly people, people with babies, who are constantly worried about what happens if fire breaks out in the middle of the night..This has come at huge financial cost to all of us..People are reaching breaking point.”: @ukcag
2.5 years after Grenfell, there seems to be no urgency or appetite to resolve this #claddingscandal.

Last night, a new fire in Bolton at student accommodation. Thankfully it seems no serious injury.

What will it take to wake up this govt? @mhclg

It’s terrifying to look at clips and pictures like this.

For the students who live there, but also for those of us living in buildings with flammable cladding (whether ACM or otherwise), this is anxiety-inducing of another order. #claddingscandal

Hoping everyone caught up in the #boltonfire last night is ok, no doubt terrified. Wish you all well and hope there is an almighty effort to ensure you all are into safe homes quickly.
This excellent piece by @xtophercook is on the fundamental State failures & cosy complicities which have led govts to fear upsetting vested interests on fire safety.

“Everyone has been paid by one side of an argument or another. It is too small a world.”

And more questions for a govt that is promising to fix the country, whilst it has barely managed to string together a cohesive policy to #endthecladdingscandal.
