Mayor Andy Burnham has asked the government to step in
Greater Manchester residents are having to 'battle' to find out when their homes will be safe from dangerous cladding, campaigners say. Seven years after the Grenfell Tower fire which killed 72 people, more than 150 buildings around Greater Manchester are in 'interim measures' due to unsafe materials. In buildings where work has started, progress has often taken several years, with some high rise blocks left covered in scaffolding.
It's a s***show': How Greater Manchester residents' lives have been turned upside down after Grenfell Giles Grover, from the group Manchester Cladiators, said long-suffering leaseholders and tenants need urgent action from the government to resolve the situation. 'The law may have changed over two years ago, but it is too complicated,' the campaigner added.
