The Government has announced £3.5 billion additional funding to go towards the removal of unsafe cladding from high-rise buildings. Credit:PA The Mayor of London has said it is “shameful” that some people will still have to pay to have unsafe cladding removed from their buildings following the Government’s announcement of additional funding. Housing Secretary Robert Jenrick today announced £3.5 billion of additional funding to remove cladding from buildings over 18 metres tall but said that those who wished to remove cladding from smaller buildings would have access to loans and would pay back no more than £50 a month. Sadiq Khan said: “It is shameful for Ministers to tell some leaseholders that they will have to pay to fix building safety problems they played no part in causing.”
