Exclusive: analysis suggests bill could rise much further, with major rebuilding programme possible instead of temporary fixes
The cost of fixing the school buildings crisis in England is approaching £150m and could rise much further, according to Guardian estimates based on figures from the construction industry, government and schools.
The price of removing aerated concrete panels, which the government warns are “liable to collapse with little or no notice”, is likely to put pressure on Downing Street to launch an urgent major rebuilding programme instead of temporary fixes.
