The Government is taking steps through the Building Safety Bill to give residents a stronger voice in the system, ensuring their concerns about safety issues are not ignored. There will be increased opportunities for residents to have their say on decisions made about the safety of their building, including through a new streamlined complaints route direct to the new regulator. In addition, building owners applying to the Private Sector Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) Fund to remediate a high-rise residential building with unsafe ACM cladding or applying to the Building Safety Fund to remediate unsafe non-ACM cladding are expected inform leaseholders and residents of the nature of the works they intend to carry out and should provide regular updates to leaseholders and residents on the progress of their funding application and remediation works.
