Protecting Renters

Currently, buildings above 18m are undergoing remediations to ensure they are fire-safe – it is clearly important that these works are carried out quickly. However, there are instances when the conditions for residents are not acceptable in the meantime.

I asked the Secretary of State for Housing if he had considered the mental wellbeing of residents. Specifically I was thinking of St Francis Tower, where residents have been living under a shrink wrap with no natural light, which I know is just one example nationally of poor living conditions as a result of these ongoing remediation works.
