Fire Safety Costs

Requested Tue 29 August 2017
Responded Tue 29 August 2017

I'd like to know the cost of all work undertaken to check buildings for fire safety, including testing of cladding components, following the Grenfell Tower fire on 14th June 2017.

Where possible, I'd like this to be broken down into costs by type - for example, costs incurred due to sending cladding for testing, costs incurred through inspections and costs incurred through remedial works.

If any additional costs have been paid due to relocation of residents (in hotel rooms or other temporary accommodation), please include and specify this as well.

In the case of ongoing works please simply include the budget set aside for the project(s).

Please include all costs even if the money is to be paid back by or has already been reimbursed from central government (for example, the DCLG).

Information not held

 

No costs were incurred. Hastings Borough Council does not have any social housing, therefore no checks on buildings had to be carried out by the council.
