1 billion UK£ to replace unsafe cladding
The UK government has now allocated 1.6 billion UK£ to remove non fire-safe cladding materials from buildings. The new UK£ 1 billion fund will help building owners remove flammable non-ACM (aluminium composite material) from residential buildings > 18 m high. It is additional to 600 million UK£ already allocated to remove ACM cladding in 2019 and shows the considerable cost of using non fire-safe materials in construction.
