A tour around our 2nd, newly occupied house on LesResTM Lesnes Estate. We have escalated our tactics as Peabody have still yet to meet our demands.

This beautiful home, is likely to be stripped back to bare walls like 200+ other homes on the estate.

Several Barton House residents are still in hotel accommodation scared to return to the block which was evacuated due to concerns of structural collapse. Bristol Council continue to tell them they’ll be ‘intentionally homeless’ if they do not comply with the forced return.

Today, we received a letter from Bristol City Council denying rehousing for those affected by the situation at Barton House. Forcing individuals back into homes where they feel unsafe is unacceptable. ACORN the union Bristol Live

Do follow the new Barton House residents action group account Barton House Action Group These residents are really going through a lot and need all our support and solidarity ✊🏿✊🏽✊🏻

This is concerning and reminiscent of the Ledbury Action Group situation. Cracks & gaps of this nature are inherent in LPS blocks and can mean breaches of fire compartmentation between flats. Avon Fire & Rescue Service are you still standing by your statements over the safety of this block?

Our statement on Barton House, Bristol following our visit to meet residents last weekend. towerblocksuk.com/single-post/to…

Today we visited Barton House in Bristol. What is happening here is one of the worst housing situations we’ve come across to date. Bristol City Council’s ongoing mishandling of the crisis is shocking and many residents are really suffering. More to follow.

🚨REVEALED: For weeks we've captivated audiences with this trailer for a new drama about the harsh realities of temporary housing.

Here's the twist: this isn't drama, it’s real life.

At least 34 children have died in temporary accommodation since 2019.

Chartered surveyor and fire & structural safety expert Arnold Tarling shared his thoughts with us in a letter about the safety of Barton House ‘too much is being assumed’.

Southwark Council Southwark Council you may be aware of the recent recall on some boilers idealheating.com/blog/important… we’ve been contacted by a council tenant who has had one of the affected models recently installed. Do they contact repairs or is there someone else dealing with this?

Fadumo Farah Can Cabinet members for housing Kye Dudd or Tom Renhard confirm whether Barton House residents will be classed as being ‘intentionally homeless’ if they feel too frightened to return. I’ve followed this up with an email to both of you and look forward to your urgent response.

Many families are scared to return but have been told they would be making themselves intentionally homeless if they do not comply. Structural engineers Ridge & Arup have released new reports having undertaken a couple of further surveys on flats bristol.gov.uk/residents/hous…

We maintain that Barton House, due to its inherent design flaws, remains at risk of structural collapse in the event of fire, impact, gas explosion or high winds. In our opinion the new report offers no reassurances & Bristol City Council should not be asking residents to move back.

Bristol Council says it’s now safe to return and appear to be leaning very heavily on a statement from Avon Fire & Rescue Service and allowing them to bear responsibility: ‘Avon Fire & Rescue Service support the decision to allow residents to reoccupy Barton House’.

Residents of Barton House in Bristol are being told they must return to the tower block by Friday 23rd Feb. We’ve spoken to several residents who are feeling frightened, having been evacuated weeks ago after being told the block is at risk of structural collapse.

We need a capable cabinet member for housing. Sorry to say it but we do not currently have one.

Tenants of the recently evacuated Barton House in Bristol are being put up temporarily in poor quality, infested hotels. These conditions are unacceptable Bristol City Council

New - leaked minutes from the govt advisory group on structural safety reveal:

🚨 Fears industry 'prioritising profit over safety'
🚨 Some LPS blocks were not strengthened as they should have been
🚨 Concern over airspace development, MMC, brick slips
