Cladding Podcast

With 18 buildings in Manchester currently identified as having dangerous cladding, and another 50 requiring remediation, the disaster at Grenfell Tower is still impacting thousands of people’s lives. On the 3rd anniversary of the disaster, Shannon Conway speaks to Cllr Suzanne Richards, the Executive Member of Housing and Regeneration at Manchester City Council.  They discuss Suzanne’s route into politics, the financial and health cost to residents living in unsafe buildings, the role of action groups like The Cladiators, and the challenges surrounding the £1billion building safety fund.
