The number of people living in privately owned high-rise
flats with combustible cladding similar to that used on Grenfell Tower is much
higher than previously believed. Ministers are planning to launch a taskforce
to help councils identify the type of cladding in use on private tower blocks
higher than 18 metres (60ft) amid growing concern that, more than a year since
the Grenfell Tower disaster, officials still do not know. The Ministry of Housing,
Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) ordered councils to identify all
private high-rise residential buildings with aluminium composite cladding by
the end of May and the results are set to be announced. Sources familiar with
the work said it is expected to show a significant increase on the current
number of 138. Read more on the Guardian website.
