In light of discourse today, just a little reminder that there is no such thing as the ‘GRT community’. It’s a label that erases and lumps together very distinct communities, with distinct histories and distinct challenges. (1/)
Our thoughts are with everyone affected by the devastating fire at the Redbourne site.
A March 2024 report for @TravellersTimes raised urgent alarms: unsafe electrics, no fire systems. This tragedy could have been prevented.
Redbourne is not alone. Too many council-run sites are overcrowded, neglected, and unsafe.
Local authorities must:
Urgently inspect all sites
Fix hazardous infrastructure
Install proper fire safety systems
