Residents of Victory Apartments in Oldham have been waiting for five years for combustible cladding to be removed, leaving them unable to live in their homes while still paying maintenance fees. The building was deemed unsafe in 2020, and leaseholders like Fozia Malik and the Ashworths have faced financial and emotional distress. RMG, the current management firm, claims to be working on refurbishments and fire safety upgrades, but residents remain frustrated by delays and lack of transparency. A recent planning application to remove the cladding was approved, but the building remains closed pending further inspections.
