Persistent and new barriers hinder accelerated progress of cladding remediation efforts.

Conclusion
The Plan identified several barriers to remediating at pace and outlined the steps MHCLG was taking to address them. Some of these barriers are those MHCLG told the previous committee about in 2020, including landlord reluctance to come forward, limited supply chains of skilled workers needed for remediation and constrained regulatory capacity for enforcement. Others are newer, such as social housing provider capability and access to funding, developer inconsistency third–party disputes, and miserable resident experience.11
