Residents of Grenfell Tower had previously raised concerns about the risk of fire months before the blaze in the early hours of Wednesday morning. Fears about “dangerous living conditions” were raised with Kensington and Chelsea tenant management organisation (KCTMO) by the Grenfell Action Group.
My family’s block of flats are managed by KCTMO, and as any resident knows, it can be exhausting waiting for a jammed window to be replaced or a door entry system to be repaired. In 2015 Adair Tower, opposite us and managed by the same organisation, suffered a fire which resulted in the London fire brigade telling them to install “self-closing devices”.
If you live in a building managed by a TMO or a housing association, we’d like to hear about the concerns you have raised and whether they have been addressed.
