NAO report on cladding - LGA Statement
Today, the NAO have released their report on dangerous cladding. The LGA responded highlighting that councils will always do their best to ensure resident safety, but face significant challenges around funding.
Councillor Adam Hug, the LGA’s spokesperson on building safety, said:
“Councils are determined to ensure that residents are safe and feel safe in their homes, but face significant barriers in accessing existing funding schemes.
“It’s positive that the Government has listened to councils and the LGA and intends to address this issue and we look forward to seeing the details, which need to include long term funding certainty if they are to be effective.”
