I see nothing in the report that is a requirement. It's simply a recommendation. Project Remediate rejected our request for the funds for the cladding. That also tells me that we are below the cut-off. We are not a high-rise like Zenith where the cladding runs right up the building. This was exactly the situation in the UK where the fire spread up the building face from one apartment to another. The cladding on our building is separated by other materials so I don't think it's the same situation as in the UK or Zenith. We also don't know the flammability of the cladding in Zenith; <br><br>Typically in engineering reports, if they believe the case to be urgent, they would say so. Something like "Urgent rectification required". There is nothing like that in the report. Anyway, I'm happy to discuss it at a meeting and then go forward based on what the entire group agrees to.<br>Warm regards,<br>Matt<o:p></o:p></p></div></div></div></body></html>
