In a 2014/15 report, in which Dent Coad's name appears, it is reported that the housing scrutiny committee looked at the refurbishment. It is often used to ascribe responsibility to Dent Coad for the cladding, even though the cladding was installed May–June 2016 so the report is actually about a completely different refurbishment. Facing the claim that she was partly responsible, she angrily rejected the accusation, saying: "I didn't make any of the decisions. I didn't sign the document,". Dent Coad issued a detailed rebuttal via a local blog, From the Hornet's Nest, refuting the most common accusations.
