As the tragedy of the Grenfell tower fire has slowly revealed a
shadowy background of outsourcing, private finance initiatives and
a council turning a blind eye to health and safety concerns, many
questions need answers. Stuart Hodkinson has those answers. He has
worked for the last decade with residents groups in council
regeneration projects across London. As residents have been shifted
out of 60s and 70s social housing to make way for higher rent
paying newcomers, they have been promised a higher quality of
housing. Councils have passed the responsibility for this housing
to private consortia who amazingly have been allowed to
self-regulate on quality and safety. Residents have been ignored
for years on this and only now are we hearing the truth. Stuart
will weave together his research on PFIs, regulation and resident
action to tell the whole story of how Grenfell happened and how
this could easily have happened in multiple locations across the
country. -- .
