GRENFELL MP Emma Dent Coad has accused her local council of a “hardening in attitude” towards survivors of the fire, and has warned that authorities are attempting to go back to “business as usual.”
Her comments came in response to anger from residents that the NHS Grenfell Health and Wellbeing Service, which is funded by the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (RBKC) was allegedly ignoring a report about contaminated soil around Grenfell Tower.
The report, which was conducted by Professor Anna Stec of the University of Central Lancashire, said that the area surrounding the tower was contaminated with cancer-causing chemicals, and urged government authorities to act.
