Residents evacuated from their flats in Worcester due to fire safety concerns say they aren't being treated as humans, and are still looking for answers.

Anne Eason and Chris Sherwin were living in two of the 46 flats in Barbourne Works and are currently living in temporary accommodation.

The managing agent, FirstPort, has declined the 蜜芽传媒's requests for interview. In statement sent, they said: 鈥淲e fully recognise how disruptive this situation is for residents. However, this action was taken with their safety as the highest priority. We remain committed to working closely with all parties to provide continued support and timely updates as we address the issues raised.

鈥淥ur immediate focus has been to secure appropriate short-term accommodation for all affected residents. With our support, the RMC has been able to fund this initially. Responsibility for ongoing and longer-term accommodation costs rests with the other parties, and the freeholder is currently working through longer-term accommodation requirements and responsibilities while the Prohibition Notice remains in effect.

鈥淲e are continuing to engage in constructive discussions with a wide range of stakeholders to agree the next steps for the building. Specialist contractors are undertaking surveys this week to better understand the building鈥檚 structure. These assessments will inform the safety measures required to enable residents to return home and help establish a clearer timeline moving forward.鈥�
