ON Thursday, Parliament held a debate ahead of the upcoming second anniversary of the blaze at the Grenfell tower block on June 14 2017 which left 72 people dead.
As was made clear in the debate, the local community are still suffering from the disaster in a wide range of ways.
As the MP for the area Emma Dent Coad explained, “We have 11,000 people affected to varying degrees by the Grenfell atrocity in our neighbourhood. Some have been helped (by mental health services) but many have not.”
