The government has made no commitment to help
leaseholders set to be hit with a £3m bill to remove dangerous cladding, but
continues to say it will “not rule anything out”. Vallea Court and Cypress

on Grenfell Tower. The buildings are understood to be insulated with Kingspan’s
Kooltherm K15 – a popular form of combustible insulation. A tribunal this week
said leaseholders will be expected to foot the £3m removal bill for the
dangerous material – plus the freeholder’s legal fees and the cost of a waking
watch. Read more on Inside Housing.
