Details
​​The government’s remediation enforcement strategy aims to make sure that unsafe buildings are identified and progress to remediation as quickly as possible.Â
​To deliver this strategy, local authorities and fire and rescue authorities (regulators) need access to resources and expertise to pursue appropriate enforcement action. Â
​The government believes there is a gap in support for regulators who wish to use their legal powers to pursue landlords who are failing to remediate, and those who are responsible for funding that remediation. Â
Therefore, we are offering this new funding to help address this gap.
​This funding is available as 2 options. The options are assessed and applied for separately.Â
​Option 1 is £5,000 to procure independent advice from third-party professionals to assess whether a legal case can be brought. Â
​Option 2 is up to £100,000 to procure the necessary third-party expert services required to pursue the legal case.
