Kensington resident tells radio host "I'll move out if Grenfell survivors move in"

A Kensington resident told a shocked radio presenter she would move out if Grenfell Tower families were rehoused in her private block.

The woman, called Donna, complained to LBC host Shelagh Fogarty that if people made homeless in the blaze moved into her luxury building for free, it would be unfair.

It comes after it was revealed 68 social housing flats in the £2 billion Kensington Row development have been acquired to house families hit by the blaze.

Given the area of London, and current house prices, these flats won't be palaces. Surely it's the very least that can be done for these poor souls. It seems like heartlessness is a growing trend.

I remember when they moved Katrina survivors into my apartment complex and we went out of our way to donate goods and services and make them feel welcome
