The landlords of Grenfell Tower were allowed to choose the price tag of tenants lives, a former resident has claimed.
Speaking at an inquiry into the fire that killed 72 people in June 2017, Emma O Connor - who lived on the 20th floor despite having mobility problems and walking with crutches - said she struggled to deal with the “rude” tenant management organisation.
Ms O Connor claimed the Kensington and Chelsea Tenant Management Organisation (KCTMO) would only give selective information on refurbishment work.
