Shah, a resident from the Chalcots Estate, talks about his evacuation experience after external cladding failed fire safety tests. Residents have been evacuated to a nearby leisure centre in Swiss Cottage. “In the beginning, they told us that we can’t accommodate you anywhere. You either stay here the night, or you find your own accommodation.” “Here at the leisure centre [we’re] on these inflatable beds, but it’s already overcrowded. Although there was somewhere to stay, there wasn’t somewhere to stay.” Camden Council said it was forced to evacuate four blocks because not only did the external cladding fail testing, but there were multiple other fire safety failures as well.
