“The police aren’t telling us anything about it.”

Residents had warned that the building - which has around 120 flats reportedly served by a single main entrance - was a fire hazard last year when rubbish piled up in a communal walkway.

The Grenfell Action Group raised their concerns in a blog post last January, saying: “The potential for a fire to break out in the communal area on the walkway does not bear thinking about as residents would be trapped in the building with no way out.”

Someone in another thread (who knows if they know anything) said it was mostly refugees who lived there.

No, from the way its being reported at this stage I'm not getting that impression. Only come across mentions of a recent council funded refurbishment, and this story about the rubbish in communal areas, who knows though, still very early to get much of an idea what's happened
