THIS FIRE IS A WAKE-UP CALL

40,000 still living in buildings with Grenfell cladding

PROTESTERS yesterday staged a demo at another tower block hit by fire and told the Government: “This must be a wake-up call.”

The sight of flames licking New Providence Wharf on Friday revived awful memories of the Grenfell Tower disaster which killed 72 in June 2017.

Wharf residents in East London held placards saying “How many fires does it take?” and “Keep us safe”.

It came as figures show around 40,000 people are still living in deathtrap high rises swathed in flammable aluminium composite material.
