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.

Tenmat's 180,000 square feet factory has more than 200 members of staff who work around the clock on fire safety.
