Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, how many households in (a) Barandon Walk, (b) Testerton Walk, (c) Hurstway Walk, (d) Treadgold House and (e) Bramley House require rehousing as a result of the Grenfell Tower fire; and how many of those households have been rehoused in (i) emergency accommodation, (ii) temporary accommodation and (iii) permanent accommodation.

Those from Grenfell Tower and Grenfell Walk, who lost their homes in the fire, will be prioritised for rehousing. Data provided by the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea showed that, after the fire, 128 households from the wider estate took up alternative emergency accommodation. Many residents have returned to their homes, but I understand that some residents do not want to return home or do not yet feel ready to do so.

For those who do not yet feel ready to return home, the Council is ensuring that suitable, good quality, self-contained interim accommodation is available. The Council are focusing on making refurbishments and repairs to accommodation on the Lancaster West Estate to enable people to move back to their homes.

For those who do not wish to return home, the Council has published final plans for permanently rehousing those tenants from the wider Estate.

As of 19 March 2018, data provided by the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea shows that:

(a) from Barandon Walk, (i) 12 households are in emergency accommodation; (ii) 26 households have moved into temporary accommodation; and (iii) no households have yet been permanently rehoused;

(b) from Hurstway Walk, (i) 10 households are in emergency accommodation; (ii) 17 households have moved into temporary accommodation; and (iii) no households have yet been permanently rehoused; and

(c) from Testerton Walk, (i) 10 households are in emergency accommodation; (ii) 20 households have moved into temporary accommodation; and (iii) no households have yet been permanently rehoused.

I am not able to provide specific information on the location of households in the remainder of the Lancaster West Estate as this could cause individual households to be identified.
