Hackney Council awarded £15.6 million in contracts, fully funded by CSS grants, for fire safety reviews and remediation of high-rise buildings.. Significant Investment in Resident Safety Hackney Council has taken a decisive step to enhance fire safety, awarding £15.6 million in contracts to Frankham Risk Management and Airey Miller Ltd. These four year contracts, fully funded by the government's Cladding Safety Scheme (CSS) grants, are earmarked for comprehensive fire safety reviews and remediation efforts across high rise and mid rise blocks boasting combustible materials. Addressing Grenfell's Legacy: Cladding and Beyond The funding directly targets a broad spectrum of fire safety concerns, including combustible cladding, insulation, balconies, and defective brickwork. This proactive remediation by Hackney Council aligns with the urgent national mandate to address fire risks post Grenfell, ensuring that residents are safe in their homes and that buildings meet updated safety standards. Meeting the 2029 Deadline and Avoiding Forfeiture The expanded £4.4 million allocation to the initial £11 million deal underscores the council's commitment to meeting the strict 2029 deadline for buildings over 18m and avoiding grant forfeiture. With 97% of identified ACM clad high rise buildings nationwide already undergoing or completing remediation by February 2026, the pressure for compliance is higher than ever.
