PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
High Rise Flats: Erith and Thamesmead (12 March 2020)

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if he will visit Erith and Thamesmead constituency to meet with leaseholders of Sark Tower who have received high bills for the removal of combustible cladding.

Asked by:
Ms Abena Oppong-Asare (Labour)

The Department has regular engagement with residents living in buildings with unsafe cladding. The Secretary of State hosted a roundtable with leaseholder residents of high rise residential buildings affected by building safety issues on 4 March. This provided an opportunity to hear directly from leaseholders about the issues they are facing and their concerns.

We are investing £1.6 billion to support the remediation of unsafe Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) and unsafe non-ACM cladding systems on private and social residential buildings above 18 metres.
