London, UK. 12th August 2017. A resident of Tanner Point in Plaistow, another Newham Council tower block with the same unsafe cladding as Grenfell Tower speaks outside her block, reading part of a letter from Newham Mayonr Sir Robin Wales telling tenants not to worry.

From Tanner Point they continued to the Carpenters Estate in Stratford, a once popular estate with over 400 empty homes which Newham's Labour council largely emptied of people over 10 years ago and intends to demolish, for a ‘hands around the Carpenters Estate’ solidarity event against decanting, demolition and social cleansing.
