Only 14 Grenfell families rehoused since catastrophe
by Felicity Collier
LABOUR accused the government yesterday of failing to keep its promises made in the aftermath of the Grenfell Tower disaster because only 14 families have since been rehoused.
Shadow housing minister John Healey said that 152 households are still living in hotels four months on from the deadly fire that killed around 80 people.
He reminded Communities Secretary Sajid Javid that, days after the disaster, Prime Minister Theresa May had said: “I have fixed a deadline of three weeks for everybody affected to be found a home.”
