THE cladding crisis in Greater Manchester has affected thousands of lives.
More than 150 buildings around the region remain in 'interim measures' due to safety risks, with work to make them safe often taking years to complete.
Greater Manchester's mayor Andy Burnham said the situation needs government intervention and has called for a meeting with deputy prime minister and Ashton MP Angela Rayner over the issue.
Last week, the mayor opened a new fire testing facility in Irlam, where work is taking place which he believes could speed up the process of ending the region's cladding nightmare.
Tenmat's 180,000 square feet factory has more than 200 members of staff who work around the clock on fire safety.
