My daughter Ayla is growing her hair and then cutting and donating it to The Little Princess Trust. They will turn her hair into a wig for a child who needs it. Ayla is hoping to raise £700, the cost to LPT to create the wig. Please donate if you can 🥰 justgiving.com/page/ayla-ven…

Nearly 4 years after we asked @mhclg to collect key data from residents impacted by the #BuildingSafetyCrisis - today they launched a survey that covers some of this. Progress of sorts? consult.communities.gov.uk/r…
#FOI number 2 submitted to @mhclg this time to ask about whether they are collecting key data on the Financial, Health & Housing impacts of the #BuildingSafety Crisis @garyportercbe @LGAcomms

The new regime commenced in 3 months from now and materially impacts 12,500+ high rise residential buildings.
Guidance is late and conflicting. The industry is not ready and the new regime will fail as a result.
An urgent review is needed to rescue this @michaelgove DMs open.
Nicky Venables retweeted
@luhc @michaelgove @H_S_E have repeatedly failed to engage with and listen to any subject matter experts who dared to question the validity or efficacy of the proposed regime.
The reason for the Chief Inspector ‘retiring’ without warning has never been explained.
Nicky Venables retweeted
The Building Safety Act was passed in response to #Grenfell - large part of the blame was placed on ineffective and poorly enforced regulations.
Government via @michaelgove and team are making the same mistakes as before in a more expensive way.
Nicky Venables retweeted
New @luhc guidance issued yesterday says:
“You will need to consider the legislation carefully to understand whether you are responsible for a higher-risk building in scope of the higher-risk regime. You may wish to seek legal advice on this."
Nicky Venables retweeted
Govt now encouraging building owners to “seek legal advice” as to whether their blocks are within the scope of the Building Safety Act! Utter nonsense @michaelgove @luhc too complex, too expensive and too late in the day. gov.uk/guidance/criteria-for…?

The Earl of Lytton has tabled a new version of his consumer protection amendment for buildings in the House of Lords. It protects ALL homeowners from the costs of remediating historic Building Safety Defects (cladding and non cladding) as well as new defects discovered going forward.
The legal text clears up issues raised around judicial review risk and applies not just to England. Funding remediations is via an efficient out of court quasi judicial process or from a wide construction industry levy where a freeholder/developer can't/won't pay.
The amendment will be put to a vote in the upcoming Report stage of the Levelling Up and Regeneration Bill.
It is hoped on the 6th Anniversary of #Grenfell that the government will implement this 6th tabling of this amendment, which protects all leaseholders from the costs of the #BuildingSafetyCrisis and also protects the future.

Six years after Grenfell, 63% of Britons (including 54% of Tory voters) say the government has done badly at addressing the cladding crisis
Very well: 2%
Fairly well: 12%
Fairly badly: 27%
Very badly: 35%

Tomorrow is the sixth anniversary of the Grenfell Tower fire.
Our new research shows that 84% of social housing high rises still don't have sprinklers and 88% don't have block-wide fire alarms.
What happened to 'never again'?

Q: Does PUR/PIR/EPS (Euro E/F) #insulation enclosed in non-combustible wall materials stand a chance of achieving an EWS1 A2 rating if #cladding and balconies are rated A2? See direct quote from report below. @FireEngineer81 @GeoffWilkinson @deepabsc @NickyVeg @SteveMcfirerisk
