STRIKING cleaners won concessions today from both the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea and the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) on the second day of their historic strike action.

Following a protest at a planning meeting yesterday evening, council representatives finally agreed to meet the strikers in person.

Councillor Catherine Faulks – widely criticised last July for saying a Grenfell resident having been charged rent after the fatal blaze was a “tiny thing” – and council chief executive Barry Quirk visited the picket line.
