that so many Grenfell tower households are still without permanent accommodation is not entirely a matter of the council's incompetence. there are many factors in play, including a financial disincentive for families to accept accommodation offers.

//The taskforce said residents were "hesitating to accept rehousing offers" because they did not want to lose benefits.

Currently, former residents of Grenfell Tower and Grenfell Walk have their rent, utility bills and council tax suspended for the first 12 months of moving into temporary or permanent accommodation.

The council said this created a "financial cliff edge, which the tenants can avoid by remaining in their emergency accommodation".//
