Remediation Acceleration Plan update (July 2025)

The Mayor welcomes the Government’s new Remediation Acceleration Plan update which sets out a range of new measures that will help us to collectively fix buildings faster, identify buildings still at risk, and ensure that residents are supported throughout the remediation process.

Since the Government’s initial Remediation Acceleration Plan, published in December, we have taken decisive action to accelerate the pace of remediation for buildings in London. The Mayor set up the new Joint Remediation Partnership Board, a coalition from City Hall, Government, local councils, the London Fire Brigade and regulatory bodies to lead vital work to end London’s building cladding crisis. The Board meets for the second time on the 21 July to discuss work on our Local Plan to accelerate remediation and we are working productively with Government and key regulators to develop clear proposals to fast-forward progress. 

The Mayor particularly welcomes the Government’s decision to equalise access to remediation funding for social housing providers, alongside the additional £1bn to enable this. We are supportive of the ambition to streamline funding set out in the Remediation Acceleration Plan and are working with HMG to ensure delivery in London benefits from this new approach. 

The Mayor continues to work with local partners to develop our Local Remediation Acceleration Plan for London, which will be published by the end of the year. 
 
The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, said: “This is a significant step forward in speeding up the removal of dangerous cladding in London, which had been far too slow under the previous Government.  
 
“Everyone deserves the right to live in a safe home – a right denied to the residents of Grenfell Tower. I will not stop until we can say with confidence that the failings which led to this disaster will never be repeated. I will continue to work hand-in-hand with the Government, London Councils, the London Fire Brigade and the sector to take swift action to remove dangerous cladding on buildings as we continue to build a safer London for everyone.”
