Implement select committee recommendations on cladding to protect leaseholders

Closed 1,275 signatures

What the petition asks

Hundreds of thousands of leaseholders are trapped in their homes facing bankruptcy from life-changing bills for waking watches, alarms and fire safety remediation. We want Government to protect them by implementing the Select Committee's 'Cladding: progress of remediation' report recommendations.
Recommendations include but are not limited to:

- Increasing the Building Safety Fund to address all fire safety defects in every high-risk residential building
- Providing funding for interim fire safety measures, such as waking watches and fire alarms
- Ensuring those responsible for the crisis contribute to the fund
- Use of CPO powers to take direct ownership of the freehold of buildings with serious fire safety defects
- Putting in place a much faster, fairer system than the EWS1 process
