<p>The Government’s priority is to ensure that residents of high-rise (above 18 metres)
buildings with unsafe Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) cladding systems are, and
feel, safe.</p><p>Officials continue to engage with developers, building owners and
managing agents with responsibility for buildings with unsafe ACM cladding systems
to ensure they are remediated as quickly as possible. We have written to all relevant
private sector building owners reminding them of their responsibilities towards making
their buildings safe. This includes ensuring that leaseholders are protected from
remediation costs. We have reminded building owners that local authorities have powers
to enforce these improvements if building owners do not take action. A joint expert
inspection team will support local authorities in ensuring and, where necessary, enforcing
remediation. We have also created a taskforce, chaired by ministers, to oversee the
progress of remediation.</p><p> </p>
