“It is unacceptable that it has taken until now for the council to suspend rent for displaced residents in Grenfell Tower” – Gwynne

In
response to Kensington and Chelsea council suspending rent payments for
Grenfell residents, Shadow Secretary of State for Communities and Local
Government, Andrew Gwynne MP, said:

 "It
is unacceptable that it has taken until now for the council to suspend rent for
displaced residents in Grenfell Tower and the surrounding area that were
evacuated from their homes.

 "People
have been made homeless in this tragedy, lost family, friends and everything
they own – Sajid Javid needs to finally show some leadership and send in
commissioners to take control of this council.”
