£32m funding deal to reclad nine Salford tower blocks
The Government has given the green light to a funding deal to replace ACM cladding on nine tower blocks in Salford.The replacement project has been in limbo after the PFI company that manages the blocks in Pendleton was deemed by Government to be ineligible for funding from its £400m local authority recladding fund.The refurbishment and cladding of the blocks was first carried out by Keepmoat under the PFI contract.Deputy Salford Mayor, Councillor John Merry said he was glad to see the conclusion of very detailed and complex technical, legal and commercial protracted negotiations.Tom Miskell, Chair of PTOL, said that work has now begun to remove and replace all the ACM cladding – starting with three blocks. The plans also include other safety works including new sprinkler systems.
