The scandal surrounded the use of metal <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cladding_(construction)\">cladding<\/a> that had been placed around the fire block. This cladding exacerbated the fire causing it to spread quicker throughout. Results from this caused more damage and costed many more lives of the people who lived in Grenfell Tower.<\/p>\n<p>With this revelation of the dangers of cladding, countless councils found that tower blocks in their areas were also covered in this flammable cladding. Soon after the tragedy the government announced a scheme that would remove and replace the dangerous cladding. However, recent government announcements has caused controversy among residents with regards to the cladding. In this article we will be looking at what these issues are and what the government are trying to do.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Governments_Plan_to_tackle_cladding\"><\/span>The Governments Plan to tackle cladding<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The government has announced that it will contribute \u00a35 billion to address the issues surrounding the metal cladding. 35 of the biggest buildings in the country have pledged to fix all buildings they have built over the past 30 years. It has also insisted that new powers will be created to allow enforcement on any companies that refuse to sign up to this scheme.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_Problems\"><\/span>What are the Problems?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One main concern among residents is that it is quite vague and that not much will be done. Due to a lack of a timescale being introduced many believe that property developers will simply drag it out. This way property developers will be able to avoid paying out for various costs. Another fear among residents and leaseholders is that the cost will fall to them. Nearly all residents won\u2019t be able to pay for these repairs and a lot of them feel as though they shouldn\u2019t pay.<\/p>\n<p>This along with the fact that plenty of these tower blocks by companies that aren\u2019t listed has left many people worried. Worry about when their flat will be made safe or if they will at all. Residents have requested that more detail and guarantees are made by the government. These would consist of a time frame of when these repairs will be made, who will pay and what will happen to those companies that aren\u2019t listed.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Credit-Score_offers_two_fabulous_solutions\"><\/span>Credit-Score offers two fabulous solutions.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re preparing to take a mortgage, never apply until you\u2019ve tried our unique and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/home.credit-score.com\/\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/home.credit-score.com\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1661250281502000&amp;usg=AOvVaw3DLzdwOokWdYYiAWepaOZb\">FREE Credit-Score Home app.<\/a>\u00a0Our smart technology will tell you what you need to fix so you avoid rejection.
