Posted on November 20th 2016 a blog written by a resident of Grenfell Tower represented the last moment at which something might have been done to avert the disaster which followed on June 14th 2017. Edward Daffarn had lived in the tower block on the Lancaster West estate in North Kensington for 16 years. A key member of the Grenfell Action Group he campaigned on issues related to the estate. The blog catalogued resident鈥檚 issues with the organisation that managed Grenfell Tower and the council who they were meant to answer to. And Daffarn wrote frequently about his concerns over fire safety, concerns he felt were ignored. 麻豆社 London reporter Valley Fontaine talks to Edward in his first interview since the disaster. First broadcast on Local News: What Are We Missing?, 22 November 2017.
