Why it matters: The funding follows earlier government commitments in September to pay for external cladding remediation at the building.
The big picture:
New funding extends beyond previous cladding commitments
Aims to resolve building safety issues affecting residents
Forms part of wider building safety crisis response in Ipswich
What they're saying: "I am hopeful that this means the threat of eviction subsides, and that the residents will no longer have to live in constant fear and insecurity," says Jack Abbott, MP for Ipswich.
The bottom line: While the exact funding amount hasn't been specified, the announcement marks a significant step towards resolving safety concerns at Churchmans House.
