Work has started to remove the unsafe cladding on Hatfield Close and Gerrard House in the wake of the Grenfell tragedy.
“I feel a lot safer now I know the cladding is coming off. It’s been up for 17 years and we thought it was OK but Lewisham Homes was on the ball straight away after what happened at Grenfell. they have kept residents in the loop and let us know everything they are doubt to make sure we are safe” said Val Jarman, vice-chair of the Hatfield Tenant and Residents Association.
Lewisham Homes will offer financial assistance to residents to cover increased energy bills as a result of the cladding being removed.
