The tragic and preventable Grenfell fire that took the lives of 72 people in 2017 was allowed to spread over the outside of the building due to the use of aluminium composite material (ACM) cladding, according to the inquiry report published in September.
Unfortunately, ACM cladding is still present on 11 high-rise buildings in Cambridgeshire, meaning that this tragedy is poised to repeat itself. Local authorities know which buildings are affected, but have not revealed their addresses.
One of the affected buildings became known in 2019, leading to its cladding being removed and replaced in 2020. As a union of lower and middle income people we will not tolerate another preventable tragedy in any of our communities.
For this reason, the government must release the addresses of all buildings with ACM cladding in Cambridgeshire, so that owners feel a stronger obligation to fix their buildings, and prevent another Grenfell before it's too late.
