Owners of three high rise buildings in Liverpool still haven't taken steps to remove flammable cladding linked to the Grenfell Tower fire .
Documents from the council's housing select committee, held earlier this week, show that of 13 buildings standing over 18 metres high in the city that were assessed in post-Grenfell examinations were found to have Aluminium Composite Material (ACM).
The material was linked to the rapid spread of the Grenfell Tower fire, which killed 72 people in June 2017.
Councils across the country were ordered to begin checks on all towers over 18 metres in height by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government to find any that contained ACM.
An update from cabinet member for housing Lynnie Hinnigan said that the vast majority of the towers had either already had the ACM removed or were in the process of doing so.
The report read: "All except three of these buildings have begun or fully remediated their buildings, and we are currently assessing our options regarding the remaining three, taking legal advice and following guidance from the MHCLG.
"We are currently undertaking the next phase of the MHCLG investigations,examining all cladding on all buildings over 18m, including their insulation and construction.
"This is a massive undertaking as we have potentially upward of 350 buildings to investigate and formally issue notices to in order to collect this evidence and respond back direct to the Government."
Councillor Hinnigan's report did not identify the location or owners of the buildings which still have ACM.
It said the council would continue to work with Merseyside Fire and Rescue Services as it works to assess the rest of the city's high rise blocks.A
