London fires

The building in Dagenham that burnt in August is being demolished, without giving the residents a chance to retrieve their belongings:

One resident from the block of flats was left surprised at the news the building was being demolished and heartbroken that she would never be able to retrieve any of her belongings.

Irina Vasile who lived on the building’s second floor, said the demolition had taken her by surprise.

The 46-year-old said: “It’s heartbreaking, because [I] wasn’t expecting it to be demolished.

“All of us, we still had hope that we can retrieve some belongings, especially some documents.”
