Formation
editIn 2008, the council unveiled its plan for a Pendleton PFI scheme to manage some of its most "challenging" housing.[4][5] The £650 million Creating a New Pendleton urban regeneration scheme was finally launched in September 2013.[6][7] Pendleton Together was formed to administer parts of the regeneration, and was a consortium including Together Housing Group, Keepmoat, Lathams architects, and Salford City Council.[8][9] In 2013 it secured a 30 year contract with the council[10] to manage and maintain specific tower blocks.
Safety
editIn June 2017, it was reported that council tower blocks in Pendleton used similar aluminium composite material (ACM) cladding that had been a major contributing factor in the Grenfell Tower fire earlier that month.[11][12] Nine blocks managed by Pendleton Together[note 1] required fire safety and other improvements.[14] Work began in 2017 to remove the cladding, but halted in the same year.[15] One reason for delays in replacing the combustible cladding was that Pendleton Together, technically a private contractor, was not eligible for public funding made available by the national government in the wake of the Grenfell fire.[13] The cladding removal resumed in 2020, but as of April 2024 had not been replaced, resulting in cold and damp living conditions and causing a series of resident protests against the company.[16]
