A registration to the Building Safety Fund was made for Albion Riverside Building, 6 Hester Road, Battersea but in December 2020 it was assessed as ineligible for funding as it was below the height threshold. As it is ineligible for the Building Safety Fund, we do not hold information on works to the building.

Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:
To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, pursuant to the Answer of 30 January 2023 to Question 127898 on Buildings: Battersea, if he will list the names of the nine residential buildings where remediation work has not started or been completed.
Answered by Lee Rowley
The Government does not publish a list naming individual high-rise residential buildings in Battersea or elsewhere that have been identified as having unsafe Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) cladding, or have been deemed eligible for the Building Safety Fund due to the presence of unsafe non-ACM cladding.
This reflects the position of the Government not to reveal the identity of high-rise residential buildings with unsafe cladding systems on public safety grounds.
