nowt2pctoday Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 For a short time put them into private rental properties. Not ideal but likely cheaper than a hotel and a higher standard of accommodation for the families who can try to rebuild their lives. Just put yourself into their shoes for 5 mins, you've had your entire life go up in smoke, are likely suffering significant trauma as a result of the tragedy and seeing other people burning to death, guilt because you survived and are now living in a hostel or hotel a long distance from your work or kids schools. If it costs us (the taxpayer) a few more pounds to pick up the cost of private rentals so these people can start to rebuild then that's fine by me. i agree private rental short term, but its going to very difficult to please everyone especially as a lot of the residents were there in illegal sub lets allegedly ?? some of the people here are here illegally as well. yes it must be awful for this to happen but the fact remains that high cost accommodation is not a long term option, maybe a hostel type building converted from an unused building until the whole situation is clear on where people have to go. ---------- Post added 07-07-2017 at 11:12 ---------- They should be offered at least the same size but also shouldn't turn them down for something bigger. a difficult task short term what happens with a multi sub let?

El Cid Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 There was mention on TV yesterday that they did not want to be housed within sight of the building: fair enough, I can imagine it would be fairly traumatic to keep looking at it, but at the same time they want to be re-housed locally and it is a damn great big tall thing that can be seen for miles... The goal must surely be to get rehoused in a good local authority house that they can buy, that is what I would be thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any property in London that they are housed in will be worth buying. As council tenants they have the 'right to buy' - They will enjoy a nice percentage reduction too on the market value no doubt.

I despair sometimes at people's callous failure of empathy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Survivors, bereaved, people, etc. Replacing the words "them" and "they" with any of those words render the post in question grammatical nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
