like Camden Council did post Grenfell, if RAAC is found in social housing
This is from 2017

It was ridiculous. I remember an elderly woman having to sit on a plastic chair all night in a sports hall, another tenant pointing out to Georgia Gould that the bedsit she had allocated to her was literally like a sauna. I was just getting a real sense of deja vu reading about the possibilities of RAAC in council/social housing.

We're staying! Camden tower residents say they won't leave tower block

Tower residents yet to be evacuated from four 'dangerous' high rises in Camden, London (pictured) claim they are being intimidated by security guards into leaving against their will.

Of course there will be. That's what modern politics is all about. Photo-ops and "publicity stunts".

If you want a serious response to any question, the very last person you turn to in this day and age is a politician (national or local) or - more sadly - a senior police, fire or ambulance officer.

Well my response (if needed) will be They were good enough for us to lock down in for months on end

9hMPs on the Commons Levelling Up Committee are expected to raise concerns with Levelling Up Secretary Michael Gove over fears around the use of reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC) in social housing built between the 1950s and 1980s.

With Gove being one of the proponents of the lockdowns surely they now cant try to get social housing tenants to move out due to RAAC IF it is found without admitting they knowingly forced us to lockdown in dangerous buildings
