The government has been accused of downplaying the fire
risk posed by the type of cladding that burned ferociously on a Bolton student
housing block – and of refusing help to worried residents of other affected
buildings. In August, owners of flats in high-rise blocks wrapped in
combustible cladding asked the housing secretary, Robert Jenrick, for help to
find the money to strip their buildings of all kinds of combustible cladding. It
took almost three months for an official to respond that money would be made
available to remove only the specific kind of aluminium composite cladding
(ACM) used at Grenfell Tower, and not the high-pressure laminate (HPL) cladding
used in Bolton and on thousands of other homes. Read more on the Guardian
