A CONSTRUCTION expert says the process of removing unsafe cladding from West Midlands homes to prevent another Grenfell is still a “challenge”.
Visiting Professor Mike Leonard, from Birmingham City University (BCU), is working with West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) on its new West Midlands Remediation Acceleration Plan.
The initiative aims to fast-track the removal of flammable cladding from residential buildings over 11 metres tall.
And Professor Leonard said it was time to tackle the “cladding crisis” still making life a misery for people in the region.
