Building Safety Updates at
Newbank Tower
Keeping you up-to-date with building safety matters at your block
Salix Homes is committed to being open and transparent throughout the building safety and remediation process at your block.
We have applied for funding through the Government’s Cladding Safety Scheme (CSS), which is newly available funding for social housing providers to help fund the removal and replacement of combustible materials and support wider building safety work on tall buildings.
This is a complex process involving various stages, and we will provide regular updates for all customers and leaseholders as plans develop. We will also provide opportunities for engagement, where you can share your views, ask questions, and help shape the plans.
Here you can find the latest communications and updates for your block, including letters to residents and other relevant information.
We encourage all residents to stay informed and get in touch if you have any questions.
Building designs
Following feedback from customers and Salford City Council, we have developed a preferred design for the external cladding of Newbank Tower.
The new designs reflect the views we have received from Newbank Tower customers, including a preference for the design to fit with surrounding buildings and use mostly simple, neutral colours. The designs are now being submitted for planning approval.
You can take a look at the proposed designs here. The designs may change during the planning process, and we will update the website accordingly:

Cladding Safety Scheme information and feedback
We are committed to keeping customers informed and involved as plans develop.
Homes England has published guidance, which explains more about the programme and what customers can expect throughout the process.
You can read the CSS Information for Leaseholders and Residents here: Cladding Safety Scheme – Information for leaseholders and residents – GOV.UK
Cladding Safety Scheme Customer Survey
As part of the Cladding Safety Scheme, customers are encouraged to provide feedback on their experience of the programme and the communication and engagement they have received throughout the process.
The survey, co-ordinated by Homes England, asks for feedback on how well Salix Homes has kept you informed about the funding application, proposed works and progress at your building.
You do not need to wait until works are complete to take part. The survey can be completed at any stage of the process.
