Labour’s
Shadow Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, Andrew Gwynne
MP,
commenting on Nick Paget-Brown stepping down as Leader of Kensington and
Chelsea Council, said:
“It
is right that the Kensington and Chelsea Leader has resigned after his handling
of the Grenfell fire.
“It
is clear that that the community has lost trust in their council, and Sajid
Javid needs to finally show some leadership and make sure all residents are
getting the support they need.
“The
lack of management of this tragedy, from both local and central government, has
been a disgrace – and Javid needs to call an immediate review into the
council’s corporate governance with a view to sending in commissioners to take
control of the council.”
