Kensington and Chelsea Council has voted unanimously to end its contract with the organisation which managed Grenfell Tower.
The council said Kensington and Chelsea Tenant Management Organisation (TMO) will no longer manage its social housing stock “because it no longer has the confidence of residents.”
Deputy council leader Kim Taylor-Smith, who called for a new management structure to be established, told the meeting on Wednesday night: "We are listening to residents and consulting on how they want their homes and neighbourhoods to be managed in the future."
As we approach the half-anniversary of the Grenfell tragedy, the community gathers to remember loved ones while grappling with mixed emotions surrounding the ongoing deconstruction of the tower and the hopeful plans for a memorial, writes EMMA DENT COAD
