Remediation is still incomplete on more than two thirds of high-rise residential and publicly owned buildings with dangerous aluminium composite (ACM) cladding systems, according to the latest government figures.
The data, which showed the picture as of 31 March this year, revealed that remediation work is now complete on 144 buildings – an increase of just two since the end of February.

Meanwhile, there are 313 buildings still yet to have been remediated in England.
Of the 182 private buildings with ACM cladding, 41 have started remediation, 99 have a plan in place but works have not started, and 41 have responded with an intent to remediate and are developing plans. One still has unclear plans.

In the social sector, remediation has started on 75 buildings and nine have a plan in place but works have not started.
Earlier this month, the Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) said remediation work on high-rise buildings was “critical to public safety” and that it had put additional project management support in place to oversee remediation and to work with the department to understand the impact of coronavirus on remediation protects and identify ways to reduce the impact on pace.
