MORE than 100 households are still homeless nearly two years after the Grenfell Tower fire, their local MP told the Morning Star today in an exclusive interview.

Kensington MP Emma Dent Coad said it was “appalling” that there were 128 households from the tower block and its immediate vicinity whose lives were ruined by the blaze but still need permanent housing.

Nineteen households from the tower and a low-rise block attached to it, along with 109 from nearby blocks on the same estate, have yet to be permanently rehoused, she said.
