Kensington MP: Funds are not going where needed

Kensington's MP has said "better communication" is needed to support the survivors of the Grenfell Tower fire.

Newly-elected Labour MP Emma Dent Coad told Martha Kearney "people are sleeping rough" because they are too scared to come forward because of worries over their immigration status.

She added: "Even I as their MP...still don't have the contacts that I need to point people in the right direction".

Ms Dent Coad went on to say that despite "millions of pounds" in donations from around the world, "the funds are not going where they're needed".
