answer text <p>We have written to owners of buildings with dangerous Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) which have no clear remediation plan in place and to those who have suggested that they will pass remediation costs to leaseholders. We have reminded them of their responsibilities for the safety of residents and of the Secretary of State’s expectation that leaseholders should be protected from these costs. <br> <br> We have also highlighted that, where building owners do not take action, local authorities have extensive enforcement powers to ensure that this necessary remediation work is undertaken. In addition, we have recently written to private sector building owners with high-rise buildings that contain small or partial amounts of cladding to inform them that the Expert Panel have advised that the clearest way to ensure the safety of residents is to remove all ACM, including small or partial areas, and replace it with a safe material.</p> more like this
