We may have had a fighting chance if the Bill's (obvious) measures were in the BSA 4 years ago.
Sadly, @mhclg culture remains focused on changing behaviours over time rather than acting with any urgency to get a grip of this mess and actually protect leaseholders.
Who owns your home matters.
Housing co-ops put ownership and control in the hands of residents – not landlords.
The law should support that. Add your name if you agree. party.coop/campaign/communit…
An Interim Measures Alarm Fund sounds like a much better solution than the previous Waking Watch Relief Fund. No #leaseholder should have had to pay out for an alarm because of the #claddingscandal but so many have.
As a former member and one of a few leaseholders on the BSR Residents Panel, I really strongly urge RMC directors caught in the #BuildingSafetyCrisis to apply. The @H_S_E decisions will destroy finances of innocent leaseholders and we MUST have our voices heard.
👥 We’re recruiting a new Chair for the BSR Residents’ Panel.
🏢 An opportunity for people living in higher-risk buildings (or private landlords) to shape building safety using real lived experience.
Apply by 10 May 2026.

8 years.
2,922 days since our loved ones were taken from us.
Still no justice.
Now they're demolishing the Tower. Trying to erase history.
But we will never forget.
Walk with us tonight at the Silent Walk to show those responsible we won't stop until justice is served.
