Tower rage at meeting

FURIOUS survivors of the London tower block fire that killed at least 80 people booed the new leader of the local authority during chaotic scenes at the council’s first meeting since the blaze.

About 70 survivors of last month’s fire at the Grenfell Tower block and other local residents gathered yesterday to protest as councillors met at Kensington Town Hall in north London. The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea council has been criticised for its slow and ineffective response to the fire.
