Let me be clear: act now or face the consequences. Leaseholders must be able to get on with their lives. We in Government must do more, and I will continue to work with councils and regulators to see that those who move too slowly to make homes safe are held to account.
We spent the evening with the residents of Burnt Oak @ukcladding23
Hundreds of homeowners in low-rise timber-frame homes with UPVC cladding, facing potential remediation costs of £14-23k.

I guess we shouldn't hold our breath to get an invite or a response any time soon...
🤷🏽 Shame @BrentLabour are not interested in retaining voters for the upcoming elections
Silence as always from @BrentLabour when an issue is not convenient or criticism is expressed publicly...
Maybe we need to ask for a new bin so that a cllr will want to have their picture taken next to it?

1/2 Interesting article about flats being by-passed for fibre broadband because freeholders cannot be contacted or because they demand high premiums for connection under wayleave agreements.
Another reason why professional freeholders fail residents.
V interesting to learn about this here for the first time. No one from the council, incl @BrentLabour cllrs for the ward, have ever been in touch with us.
We have not been consulted or invited to any meetings.
Cllrs have known about our building for 3 years...
WEMBLEY MATTERS: Calling Brent Council tenants and leaseholders in high risk buildings: Have you attended any of Brent Council's Building Safety Residents' Engagement Meetings? Any comments? @Brent_Council https://t.co/Gw3o8VcNp6
Our freeholder is registered on the #CaymanIslands.
They refuse to issue a landlord certificate for the cladding works as it would expose their corporate structure.
@luhc @michaelgove have been informed twice and have ignored our reports

EXPOSED: The secretive offshore world is contributing to the #LeaseholdScandal in the UK – leasehold homeowners have no way of contacting their freeholders directly and are forced to send hundreds of pounds to tax havens for little in return. https://t.co/rl8bRIC5Ea
📻 ICYMI: Earlier this week we spoke to @LBCNews about the fire in Elm Road, Wembley.
Lengthy wrangling over remediation funding is still being prioritised over the safety of residents. The scale of work still needed is enormous 👇

"Developers blame a “perfect storm” of setbacks. They include (...) new safety and environmental building regulations from the Government"
🤔 @Lee4NED how about getting developers to focus on their remediation contracts❓

💚 Our hearts go out to our very close neighbours during this terrible experience 💚
How many more near misses or worse before proper action is taken?
We are 3 years into the BSF process and no start date in sight...

This block, like many around the country, was involved in "discussions" between the housing association which owned it, the builder and the insurer about how to remediate it and who would pay.
But as we keep saying: the next fire won't wait

I don't know if, when or why Grenfell and the building safety scandal will 'break through' in the way the Post Office Scandal has. But I'm confident if it does the reaction will be similar. There is such a common reaction of outrage when people hear the details for the first time
2️⃣ years since Michael Gove’s reset.
💰 We're still paying to fix problems we didn’t cause.
⌛ The firms that profited still sit on their hands.
❌ Promises to make product manufacturers pay “instead of leaseholders” have been broken.
Innocent leaseholders are #StillTrapped

Not a single word on Housing during Rishi Sunak’s speech but let’s ban phones in classrooms and cigarettes. Forget about the 131,000 homeless kids in England …
Jesus wept.
👷 Are you a leaseholder in a Berkeley building with safety defects?
