In addition to cladding remediation works, every single brick is being replaced… because they were laid upside down so the builder could save on cement costs. Good grief, is there nothing developers won’t do to cut corners on people’s homes.

🧵For any lucky people who are looking at the Building Safety (Wales) Bill over the summer with a view to giving evidence to Local Government and Housing Committee, I thought I'd post a few useful links to help make sense of things:

I’m sure leaseholders are the same, every time I get these horrible bills, I have days of insomnia, not eating, doing stupid things like leaving my car ignition switched on, scalding myself with a hot kettle. it knocks me sideways.💔 #endourcladdingscandal

Almost 2 years now since the initial contact with our developers Avant Homes and still no sign of any progress. This week we issued our 3rd complaint letter to Ridge Consultancy and also to our MP Andrew Western MP The developers pledge simply isn't working for us.

It's almost a year since this Angela Rayner 'roundtable'. Nothing has changed. More warm words. No action. Building safety still isn't a Government priority. gov.uk/government/new…

Still only making buildings half safe. Still refusing to take control from the centre. Still failing to protect innocent leaseholders. The Labour Party still far from delivering anything close to the change they promised.

“Remediation..held up because FH’s did not want to sign funding agreements in case they have to pay for non-cladding work or where FH’s demand #nonqualifyingLH stump up £000’s for unfunded remediation before work can begin..” We need a'National Remediation Scheme’!

We absolutely welcome Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Gov announcement last month that cladding remediation funding will be made available to under 11m buildings. But let's cut the cr*p about "exceptional cases". 1/
