Residents' plea to ministers: ‘Don't make us pay £2m to remove Grenfell-style cladding’
A view of the Citiscape building in Croydon
RESIDENTS facing a £2 million bill to have Grenfell-type cladding removed from their building have launched a petition demanding government intervention.
Leaseholders at Citiscape in south London, which has cladding panels similar to those believed to have spread last year’s blaze that killed 80 people, face crippling charges within months.
Local Labour MP Steve Reed condemned “the appalling situation of living in flats that [residents] know are at risk of going up in flames but are unable to take action to keep their homes and their families safe.”
