Community Engagement

The Government makes contact with the communities of North Kensington on future of Grenfell site.

"Dear all,

KCSC has received the following long email regarding the soil toxicity in the area. The information provided has come straight from Ministry of Housing Communities and Local Government on 3rd June 2019 

KCSC encourages the community and their Voluntary Sector partners to attend one of the two workshops surrounding the issue of soil toxicity in the next week. The report and the impact on the community has galvanised many in the community to take action. Here is footage of a recent action taken in the borough. The details of the workshops are below;

Trust for London has granted KCSC a total of £130,000 over the next 3 years to deliver the Stronger Voices programme.  

Based on the current work of KCSC delivering community development and engagement activities since the Grenfell fire, the funding will contribute to the funding of our Community Development role and will enable KCSC to work closely with local organisations, particularly grassroots/social action groups, to build and sustain the voice of the community within North Kensington.

The Stec Report was covered extensively in the press on Thursday 28th of March. The community and the institutions that support the community can read the transcript here. The format is unusual but intended to make questioning by the press easier. 

The NHS has provided advice to the public in response to the report - this can be found here. 

This is taken from a letter circulated last Friday (22nd March) by the Environmental Checks  Grenfell Victims Unit., co-signed by Right Honourable James Brokenshire M.P, and the Right Honourable Nick Hurd M.P.

As the UK's National Human Rights Institution, the Equality and Human Rights Commission has carried out research, in partnership with Race on the Agenda, to look at the human rights and equality dimensions of the Grenfell fire tragedy.

Their work has been to determine if the state is fulfilling its duties under human rights and equality law. They are thankful to everyone who has helped with this work.

You can still have your say on the Council's priorities for the years ahead via the www.letstalkpriorities.co.uk online survey, the Council have extended the deadline to next Friday 18 January following feedback from the community.

Please find a summary of the Grenfell Recovery Strategy, developed in partnership with the community.
