Duke's Lodge for Grenfell

Holland Park, London. Thu 10 Aug 2017

 

 Class War outsite Duek's Lodge

 'Evict the Rich'

 Sid Skill holds the banner - and behind him a Class War sticker on the notice

 A woman whose son is driving her past gets out to talk with the protesters. She was a resident in Duke's Lodge

 and had spent over £40,000 on the decor of her flat

 She didn't want to leave, but was forced out

 

 and tells us that there is no chance that the royal borough of Kensington & Chelsea will buy the property from

 the developers to develop as social housing. And she is almost certainly right. RBKC are trying hard not to do

anything to help the former Grenfell Tower residents, more concerned with avoiding blame for their appalling
failure to ensure the safety of the block and making decisions that made it a disaster waiting to happen
