Government told to step up efforts to remove dangerous cladding in the wake of Dagenham fire
Starmer slammed for ‘not say a word about the building safety crisis since he became prime minister’

CAMPAIGNERS have told the government it must step up action to remove dangerous tower block cladding in the wake of the massive fire in Dagenham.

Cabinet Office Minister Ellie Reeves admitted that removing dangerous cladding needed to be “ramped up,” but the group called this “very much an understatement.”
