Jeremy Clarkson shares impact of floods on home: ‘Our block was deluged’ | Celebrity News | Showbiz & TV
He added: “I’m not quite sure how it works or where all the straps go, but it’d be fun to sit an insurance man on it and find out.”
Jeremy ended his column with a plea to readers, penning: “I urge you to email my idea to Michael Gove.”
Gove is Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, and The Grand Tour presenter was adamant he knew how to fix the cladding problem on some of the high-rises.
“I have a flat at the top of a 16.8 metre block in London, which in 2010 was redeveloped and made to look more attractive with cladding,” he explained, adding that this specific type of cladding is “perfectly safe”, a claim confirmed by experts.
“There is a dry riser that enables the fire brigade’s hoses to reach every floor simultaneously and a lift that can still be used even if the rest of the building is an inferno,” he detailed.
