The issue of fire safety was raised repeatedly by the Greenfell Action Group in the years since, including a blog from November 20, 2016, titled KCTMO – Playing with Fire!
The following paragraphs were included in that particular post:
“Unfortunately, the Grenfell Action Group have reached the conclusion that only an incident that results in serious loss of life of KCTMO residents will allow the external scrutiny to occur that will shine a light on the practices that characterise the malign governance of this non-functioning organisation.” “The Grenfell Action Group predict that it won’t be long before the words of this blog come back to haunt the KCTMO management and we will do everything in our power to ensure that those in authority know how long and how appallingly our landlord has ignored their responsibility to ensure the health and safety of their tenants and leaseholders. They can’t say that they haven’t been warned!”Another blog post published in the wake of the fire on Wednesday, June 14, served notice of the repeated warnings raised by tenants and includes a link back to all of the previous blog entries about “the very poor fire safety standards at Grenfell Tower and elsewhere in RBKC (Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea)”. At approximately 8.15am on Wednesday morning, London Ambulance Service reported that over 50 people had been taken to hospital as a result of the fire and that over 100 medics were working at the scene. Fatalities from the fire have also been confirmed. https://twitter.com/Ldn_Ambulance/status/874894147848724480
