800 are being evacuated , cladding a fire risk

Anniebach Fri 23-Jun-17 20:58:33

800 households , where will they sleep

Let's hope that, as it's not an emergency, Camden Council have made arrangements before they started moving people out.

I wonder if this will happen every time a council finds they have a high risk building. Who will foot the bill?

Anniebach Fri 23-Jun-17 21:06:03

A councillor just said they should go to the community centre

Ana Fri 23-Jun-17 21:08:36

What - 800 families?

Anniebach Fri 23-Jun-17 21:09:02

A resident just said they were told it was because of gas pipes in the landing and they could expect to be out three to four weeks, she didn't know untill she saw it on the news

Anniebach Fri 23-Jun-17 21:10:34

They said 800 households Ana , they will be out two to four weeks not three to four as I first posted

Ana Fri 23-Jun-17 21:13:49

Still - they're supposed to all fit into the community centre? confused

Perhaps at the community centre they will get more information and be directed to somewhere else? It may be a central clearing point, not a place to stay.

How stressful for the residents.

Anniebach Fri 23-Jun-17 21:35:55

Seems at the centre they will be directed where to go, cabs are waiting to drive them to families, if they have families.

I rather think Camden will have made plans - it's not K&C after all

durhamjen Fri 23-Jun-17 21:44:31

Goes back to 2012 change of law.

Anniebach Fri 23-Jun-17 21:49:45

Yet residents only found out from tv news.

Anniebach Fri 23-Jun-17 21:50:31

Is Camden labour or Tory controlled council ?

Anniebach Fri 23-Jun-17 21:51:32

To be fair Camden has had a week to make plans

Rigby46 Fri 23-Jun-17 21:57:16

why not google it and find out?

petra Fri 23-Jun-17 22:02:38

It's now 4,000 people in London.

Rigby46 Fri 23-Jun-17 22:04:32

They have not had a week - the council were told this evening by the fire service. Anyway, I expect it's all Jeremy's fault and he has planned this along with his communist comrades to get himself some more publicity grin

Rigby46 Fri 23-Jun-17 22:05:23

( just thought I'd get in first with Jeremy bingo)

petra Fri 23-Jun-17 22:15:24

I reckon your right, Rigby46

Rigby46 Fri 23-Jun-17 22:20:14

Well he is very very cunning ( as well as unutterably evil with his plan for world domination)

Deedaa Fri 23-Jun-17 22:20:20

If the 10 o'clock news is anything to go by it looks like the usual chaos.

Rigby46 Fri 23-Jun-17 22:25:04

Well I'm on my way to a full house - Jeremy, communist, comrade, publicity, cunning, evil, plan, domination,

petra Fri 23-Jun-17 22:28:56
