As politicians call for action on the cladding scandal, three people living in unsafe homes share their stories
Up to 11 million people may live in properties with unsafe cladding, an issue that came to prominence with the tragedy at Grenfell Tower in June 2017.
Many of those who own affected flats have been presented with significant bills for remedial works or fire patrols, with some being made bankrupt, and a number have been unable to sell their properties – a situation described as “extraordinary” by shadow housing secretary Thangam Debbonaire.
