Please bear in mind this a flier drawn up by ex-residents looking for help and perhaps guidance from people with a greater grasp of what is achievable and what potential options are.
Complicated issue this one. Some residents may not want to be rehoused in the immediate area. The tower is going to be there for a long time and people may easily feel retraumatised by being in it's vicinity. Also, we're ony a few days in. Rehousing isn't a simple action and very much still in the temporary accomodation stage. Rushing into immediate rehousing can easily cause as many problems as it is attempting to resolve.
Yes rehousing is difficult and will take time someone needs to take a few minutes and let individuals know what is happening and when.
This is a bit of a meaningless request. Funds have already been immediately released for things like temporary accommodation and other welfare related needs. We know this and can see it happening. Losses are a whole other issue and without a permanent home for them, where would victims be putting their replacement stuff? This and a whole load of other issues need to be resolved as they come up. Hopefully RBKC, the insurers, underwriters, Central Government and everyone else involved will make a concerted effort to get through the necessary processed as efficiently and effectively as possible and advocate for the victims. However, again, this is one of those things that necessarily takes time.
Having been there I saw a lot of intercommunity help but little evidence of Government local or national help. So far people are sleeping on the floor in sports halls and the like, RBKC has offered a high rise hotel as well apparently!
Theresa May has already committed to a full public enquiry. Whether this takes the form of an Inquest or an Enquiry remains to be seen but this appears to have been taken out of the hands of RBKC.
A promise by Theresa May means what exactly? or perhaps Are you fucking kidding me.
Are you fucking kidding me.We have a protocol in place that families are contacted to notify them of the deaths before the names are released. We do that for a number or reasons, not least of all so that families don't find out because a horde of journalists are on the front door step and ringing them out of the blue. Also, there is no full list. RBKC honestly won't have a clue at this time of everyone who is and isn't dead. There's no way you can condone giving out bad information to potential grieving relatives.
This I would suggest stems from the difficulty encountered so far for individuals to locate their injured and displaced friends and relatives, being turned away from hospitals with neither confirmation or denial that their children are there. With no where else to turn just countless visits and being stonewalled and not surprised they feel something needs to change. So far many have dealt with no information.
Commission investigation into all other similar buildings in the borough to identify fire, health and safety risks and put in place immediate control measures.
This highlights a degradation in building control privatisation which has happened over time and needs addressing.

Definitely should do this and also work with as may Borough's as possible.
