Statement from Mike Hill MP on Grenfell Towers London The tragic loss of lives at the Grenfell Towe - Thursday 15 June 2017

By Hartlepool Alert

Statement from Mike Hill MP on Grenfell Towers London The tragic loss of lives at the Grenfell Tower block of flats in Kensington London is both regrettable and unnecessary in modern times. In Hartlepool we do not have the problem of having High Rise flats vulnerable to major fire risks like Grenfell but we do have a high level of properties owned by private Landlords and Registered Social Landlords like the Thirteen Housing Group. As MP for Hartlepool I am determined to make sure that such a tragedy as Grenfell could never ever happen in our town and so I have asked the Leader of the Council, Christopher Akers Belcher, the Councils Chief Executive and Ian Haydon the Chief Fire Officer for Cleveland Fire Brigade to contact all Housing providers in the town to undertake immediate fire safety checks in all of their properties. We may not have Tower blocks in Hartlepool like Grenfell towers but we all deserve to be Fire Safe in our homes. Lets make it that way for our citizens and our Communities. Mike Hill MP for Hartlepool
