Leeds Cladding Scandal

06/04/2025

Thanks to all the leaseholders who opened up to Greg Wright and the Yorkshire Post to explain just how much this scandal is continuing to blight our lives.

🏙️ Too many innocent people are still living in unsafe buildings.
💷 Too many leaseholders are being charged £££s for interim measures and jacked up insurance costs
🐌 Too many developers and freeholders are taking far too long to do the right thing
✂️ Too many in government are mistaking noise from industry for action on the ground

Hopefully the series of articles will highlight to political leaders once again that we’re still far away from solutions, and far far away from justice.

In the years since Grenfell, thousands of buildings have been found to violate safety regulations. Flat owners suddenly found themselves hit with bills for large scale remedial work and soaring building insurance premiums.

There’s heartbreaking reading in the Sunday Times today, about another death related to the Cladding Scandal.

We know that the is still taking its toll on far too many people in Leeds.

For anyone who feels like it’s getting too much, please reach out, please ask for help: you are not alone.

Together we can keep fighting for justice, to make our homes safe and to make something better come out of these years of stress.

But as individuals, it’s sometimes hard to keep fighting.

So please let’s keep looking out for each other. If we need to, take breaks and reach out and find the support that is there.

Our statement of today’s visit by following his promise to Hilary Benn to meet with us.

We got nearly an hour of his time and were able to outline a range of the issues that affect us all - whilst at the same time emphasising there are lots more buildings and loads more issues that we need his help on.

To that end - we think it’s time that we had another meeting just for people affected in Leeds - which we’ll aim to do in a few weeks time - and will publicise here and via email. So do let fellow lease holders know.

Huge thanks to all the leaseholders who made the time and effort to attend today. It really helps us to keep pushing forward when we keep this ongoing scandal in the media and as near to the top of the Government’s “to do” list as we can.
