The Government will support councils in taking action
against private sector building owners who do not cooperate with councils in
ensuring the safety of high-rise buildings from fire. Sajid Javid wrote to
council chief executives responding to concerns voiced earlier by local
authorities that they were in the dark about the safety of privately owned
buildings because they did not have access to the relevant information. Mr
Javid reminded councils that councils do have the power to ask landlords to
take necessary action to ensure that their buildings are safe and can
ultimately carry out any necessary work themselves and then charge the landlord
for it. Read more on the LocalGov website.
