walshie 2,804 Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 Apparently some luxury flats have been acquired for the victims to move into ...... They WERE worth millions each. Not so much now I reckon. The other residents must be delighted. The whole thing is a joke. If they're homeless, put them in a hostel or B&B. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BGD 6,437 Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 Nice gesture by the developers Two bedroom flats are currently being advertised for up to £2.4 million, but it is understood the City of London Corporation paid around £10 million for the flats thanks to an extraordinary gesture of goodwill by developer St Edward in selling the properties at their cost price. A property source said: They are being sold to the corporation at cost. It is a huge gesture by them. It just goes to is show what kind of mark-up there is. http://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/sixtyeight-flats-in-2bn-luxury-block-to-be-given-to-families-whose-lives-were-devastated-in-grenfell-a3569876.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dave88 1,565 Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 (edited) I understand they need to be re housed but that is taking the piss a bit...if my house burned down i'd be housed 3 towns over in a temporary b&b for 6 months with f**k all belongings...having to beg, steal and borrow to get back on my feet. Again i understand they need somewhere to live but that is madness Edited June 21, 2017 by daveee88 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stumfelter 3,034 Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 Council sidelined in Grenfell Tower response as leader refuses to quithttps://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/jun/18/council-leader-nick-paget-brown-grenfell-tower-response Kensington and Chelsea council has been relieved of responsibility for taking care of the survivors of the Grenfell Tower disaster. The work is being handed over to a new Grenfell fire response team, made up of representatives from central government, the British Red Cross, the Metropolitan police, London-wide local and regional government and the London fire brigade. The move comes as the Conservative leader of Kensington and Chelsea, Nick Paget-Brown, resisted calls to resign in the face of mounting criticism over the chaos and paralysis that have gripped the council in the wake of the disaster. The response team will provide 24-hour access to services and support at the Westway sport and fitness centre. Help and advice are to be provided with housing, funds, health, social care and food. Eleanor Kelly, the chief executive of Southwark council, said: We want to make clear that whilst the emergency and local community response was nothing short of heroic, we know that the initial response was simply not good enough on the ground. People are angry, and rightfully so. Our focus is now on ensuring those affected are being cared for and looked after. Housing is our main priority. We will organise and speed up the rehousing process. We are currently working with those affected households to establish what their housing need is. As you can appreciate, this takes time. By the end of Monday, we aim to have contacted all known families affected by the fire and completed an assessment of what they need. The latest information we have is that 201 households have received emergency accommodation to date, of which 113 are homeless. The British Red Cross, which has been involved since Wednesday, has a team of more than 60 volunteers to provide help. They will help distribute donations and meet grieving relatives as they arrive at airports. Kelly said: There is nothing we can say that will blunt the feeling of loss and anger. But what I hope the new team and this package of support will start to get those affected by this tragedy the urgent assistance from the authorities they need. Opposition councillors are angry at the way council leaders appeared to freeze when confronted by a disaster on the scale of the fire. They said they were kept in the dark and repeatedly given incorrect assurances that accommodation had been found for residents. The Conservative-led administration had failed to return calls from neighbouring councils offering to provide accommodation and other help, the councillors said. Utterly shameful response from the leaders of the local council, if they've any decency they'll be handing in their letters of resignation first thing Monday morning. Pot calling the kettle black. As a bona fide card carrying labour supporter if you had a shred of decency you'd f*ck off out of THL... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
