Fire brigade chief pleads with London building owners: 'Get the cladding off'

The London Fire Brigade commissioner has said Grenfell-style cladding must be stripped from 1,250 high-rise blocks across London.

Andy Roe has pleaded to building owners and managers to “get the cladding off” as he warned some high-rises are still clad or have “serious deficiencies,” nearly seven years after the Grenfell Tower fire killed 72 people in North Kensington.
