Devastated to hear that Giles Peaker @nearlylegal has passed away.
He supported Ledbury residents tirelessly, helping us secure safe homes & later gave his time freely to @TowerBlocksUK to help advise tenants on their rights. A huge loss. Thoughts with his family and colleagues.

[Tower Blocks UK @TowerBlocksUK]

Our sympathies to Grenfell United as they navigate the governments decision to demolish Grenfell Tower. It’s vital the voices of families & survivors are heard. We support the call for meaningful consultation, recognising the importance of honouring the memories of those lost.

[BBC London @BBCLondonNews]

Residents in high-rise homes made with pre-fab concrete panels have told BBC London they fear for the safety of their buildings.

🚨 Southwark Council have issued Notice To Quit to a #LedburyEstate tenant being decanted from the towers. She refused a studio flat as it was too small for her & her school aged child. The council are now resorting to intimidation tactics in what was an already dire situation

“Grenfell was blessed with diligent, highly intelligent & highly engaged residents, brave enough to stand up on behalf of their neighbours…The trouble was the system did not give these people power.” ⁦⁦⁦@PeteApps⁩ on where the Inquiry fell short https://t.co/wsx88CLENa

[Peter Apps @PeteApps]

The Grenfell Inquiry report isn't just a story of a complacent government. Read it carefully and a story emerges of one which routinely covers up the truth
