Grenfell-style combustible cladding is being replaced so
slowly that it could take until 2029 before all buildings are fixed, Labour has
said. According to government figures, 249 high-rise apartment blocks are yet
to be made completely safe, and the majority of them are still wrapped in
dangerous aluminium composite material (ACM) panels. Over the last six months
privately owned towers have been fixed at a rate of 1.2 per month, and 88
blocks have still not started remediation works, official figures show. Social
housing blocks are being fixed at the rate of just over two per month, and
there are nine where nothing has happened yet. Read more on the Guardian
