The Government has published a joint plan between social landlords, regulators and government, where they have committed to working together to accelerate remediation of 11m+ social buildings in England that have unsafe cladding. The joint plan includes 22 actions that will help them to achieve three objectives:
- fix buildings
- find all unsafe buildings requiring remedial works
- support residents
In the joint plan, government and social landlords committed to the target dates for remediation set out in the wider Remediation Acceleration Plan:
- By the end of 2029, every 18m+ residential building in a government funded scheme will be remediated.
- By the end of 2029, every 11m+ building with unsafe cladding will either have been remediated, have a date for completion, or its landlords will be liable for penalties.
The plan sets stretch targets for when social buildings will be remediated, and the action that government, social landlords and regulators will take to achieve them.
