the fact is that the response by kensington and chelsea council has been lamentable in dealing with thisld have done a lot more to get a grip on what is a dreadful tragedy and there are still people out there requiring help of the public authorities that aren't getting the help that they desperately need. no one would ever dispute these people need help and that more should have been done quicker, sooner, the question is, though, by who? which body should have been in charge, is any council, regardless of how wealthy it is, in a position in terms of personnel, in terms of money, in terms of being able to organise resources, to react to something like this? grenfell tower tragedy, it was awful, but on a scale that no council would ever expect to be dealing with? all local authorities should be prepared for civil contingencies and that means they take a leading role in pooling together resources, it might be they don't have resources to look after it but they should take the lead with central government, other agencies, other charitable bodies to help get together that support people need
