The National Audit Office (NAO) has reported that the UK government may fail to meet its 2035 deadline for removing dangerous cladding from buildings. With up to 60% of affected structures still unidentified, progress is lagging despite a substantial increase in remediation activities. More than £500,000 has been potentially lost to fraud in recent payments, raising concerns about funding strategies. The NAO recommends enhanced measures to expedite the identification of at-risk buildings by the end of 2024, citing significant emotional and financial distress for many residents awaiting safety improvements.
