💨 Abstract

The Reuters review found that over 100 public housing buildings in the UK, owned by 26 local councils and not-for-profit housing associations, had cladding that didn't meet fire safety standards and were installed by contractors. Despite promises to make negligent contractors pay, only 13% of the over 260 million pounds spent on recladding these buildings has been recovered by owners.
