How much has the Council spent on compensating residents for additional heating costs as a result of cladding removal that has taken place since the Grenfell fire?
What percentage of the overall Council budget has been spent on fire safety since the Grenfell fire (14 June 2017) and how does this compare with the percentage of the overall Council budget spent on fire safety over the same period in 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013 and 2012?
What percentage of the overall Council budget has been spent on fire safety this year (2017 or from the beginning of the current budgetary period) and how does this compare with the percentage of the overall Council budget spent on fire safety in each of the last five years (2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012 or the corresponding budgetary periods)?
How much money has the Council received from Central Government since Grenfell Fire to help with extra related costs since the fire?

Request for Information - 2017/15800 - Post Grenfell fire safety spend

(14 June 2017)? How does this compare with the same period in 2016,

The Council has spent approximately £550k on Housing related fire safety
since the Grenfell fire.  In addition it has approved additional capital
resources totalling £30 million for the installation of sprinkler systems
and replacement cladding in affected blocks. In previous years it is
estimated that the costs amounted to some £20k per annum but it has not
been possible to ascertain the precise figure as these weren’t classified
separately in the accounts.

additional heating costs as a result of cladding removal that has
taken place since the Grenfell fire?

 

Nothing

 

 3. What percentage of the overall Council budget has been spent on fire
