Kensington and Chelsea Council has admitted taking risks buying properties for Grenfell survivors, many of which are now unsafe for social housing. While hastily acquiring 290 homes after the 2017 tragedy, the council faced criticism for failing to adequately address safety issues. Many properties remained unoccupied due to unsafe layouts and fire escape concerns. The council plans to sell 14 homes considered too poor to meet safety standards, raising concerns about oversight and taxpayer waste. Survivors have criticized the council's rushed approach and the government's failure to ensure accountability.
The decision made by the Tory Government in the immediate aftermath of the fire to leave the same negligent Tory council in charge of the aftermath with a blank cheque, without any oversight or scrutiny, was a grave misstep, harmful for the victims and irresponsible.
They don't investigate before they do something. Rush is the biggest red flag. You cannot rush fire safety. People's lives mean more than money.
