Many still without permanent home

-

LESS than half the Grenfell Tower survivors have a permanent home.

Prime Minister Theresa May insisted 183 households have now accepted an offer of a full-time place to live.

But only 83 households out of the

203 that were displaced are already in these homes.

In total 198 have either accepted an offer of a permanent address but are in the process of moving in or they have agreed to offers of temporary

accommodat­ion. Five households have not yet found anywhere suitable.

From the walkways, the area adjoining the tower, 129 households moved out, of which less than a third

have returned. A Kensington and Chelsea council spokesman said: “We have staff doing everything they can to rehouse families as quickly as possible.

“We’ve committed £235million to secure 307 homes.”
