- Residents who escaped from a fire in a large block of flats in east London have told Sky News they feel "abandoned".
Five weeks after the blaze, both the block's management company and owner of the building have failed to meet them.
The response has been branded "woeful" by the local council.
Taxpayers have had to pay £500,000 to support those residents who have lost everything in the fire in Dagenham.

This is when a proper government would stand up and hold people accountable. They want to stand up to people posting on Facebook but look away when it comes to true leadership. Disgraceful from all involved..
before anyone talks about Barking Dagenham council this DOES NOT BELONG TO THE COUNCIL it's privately owned nothing to do with the government the people need to take the landlord to court
Well said.
Planning permission was granted by the "Council" to build an unsafe building, was it not?
It was the old Berger paints office building which was converted into flats a while ago.
They make sure of that by palming everything out to private sector so they can wash their hands of the poor.
It's down to council to ensure all property on their Borough used for social housing meets every safety standard
Planning permission was still granted to extend the building by two floors. Everyone was aware of the fire safety issues. They’re all to blame
Many of us are living in dangerous properties. Electrical wiring becoming dangerous because of mould and damp.
There are problems within the housing sector, major problems.
Many of us living in HAs live with issues every day.
Nobody takes accountability in the uk
Exactly just pass the buck
This is a epidemic no accountability.
This is a horrible situation god bless
Council can’t even answers the phone these days . Bull s… from them
Does any English man or woman have a council tenancy anywhere in England nowadays or are they all for eigners ?
Yes in the north east, I have family up there
@@justchilling4491I do in North East
I was just thinking the same.
84 percent of the country is whitand u think English people don’t have tenancy😂😂
Half a million cost to the taxpayer, and the actual owner, is stirring his cocktail, with phone on silent . . . Something not quite right
I thought we had learnt from Grenfell Tower. Obviously not…..
Non accountability is the life blood of the UK.
If my house burns down nobody is going to help me. My daughters house did burn down. Nobody helped here. OK I did. This give me mentality makes me sick.
im just happy the council has helped them but the company and owner of building should be held accountable, they should be imprisoned for improper safety measures, its sad to say that it might just be a £5000 fine for them if measures arent taken by the residents affected.
Insurance job?
New luxury apartments will be built for the ones who can afford to buy them. Disgusting that there is zero accountability.
yet the building owners haven't been on TV, haven't paid a penny.
Scaffolds aren't escape routes that's why it was padlocked
They padlocked a fire exit not the scaffolding routes 🫠
No pic no proof
It was a random construction worker that padlocked a bunch of locations he’s probably wanted for murder
There’s video proof that’s been circulating, the police who helped the residents stuck on that side climb over are can give statements. What a time we live in, why would any of us lie about something like that.
ohhhhhhhhh David was on roll new car new mortgage now he has to go through pain , enjoy your life
Angela rayner is the housing minister. She has decided to increase social housing rent to the same amount as a similar privately rented home would be. She also wants to halt all sales of council owned properties. Renting council homes and then buying them was is the only way a lot of people will have an affordable home. Now we find yhat although there was meant to be an overhaul of how privately rented housing is regulated,the only 'change' is to evictions which is so full of loopholes it is barely any kind of barrier to evictions. So where is the statement today from raynor on this disastrous fire weeks after tenants became homeless and who have had no contact at all from the owner or a compensation claim avenue made available to them by arinium,brijesh patels company that he is sole director of.
I thought slim panatellas were out of fashion. my mother used to smoke them. in the 70s
Council shifts blame to private company vice versa vice versa that's all they do move ball around and there isn't a hierarchy
We seen his face that's enough !
I thought the new Labour government was going to add new housing and apartment regulations in the UK when they get elected, especially after the Grenfell fire?
Free holder at fault here 💯 and local council for not checking and look who owns it 😂 England has gone them flats were probably full of migrants
UK????????
UK is falling
This country is finished
Well come to our world then we dont matter either
I would take Council to the Court
For what exactly?
It was a privately owned building, nothing to do with the council.
Why? It's a privately owned block of flats. The fault belongs to the owners, the fire department who signed it off and both liebore and tories for their light touch regulation. It's disgusting that money means more than life.
wtf is court?
@toni6053 Privately owned block of flats -WITH PERMISSION AND REGULATIONS BY COUNCIL (LOCAL AUTHORITIES) ?
@@victoravram3775 And who is responsible for complying with those regulations? The property owner!
If someone breaks the law (let's say speeding) is the Government at fault or the driver?
ISRAELIS AND UKRAINIANS ARE MORE IMPORTANT
