It opens a wider question about procedures to be followed after a disaster that could involve a large number of homeless people and attendant risks such as the spread of disease, Whose responsibility is it to make plans and whose to implement them. Some of these things are laid down and I understand come under the GLA/Mayor in London, but in this case nobody seems to have twigged that the procedures needed to be invoked, or if they were, nobody carried them out. This is another aspect the public inquiry might well look into.
I think they should bring back councils with smaller areas and the Town Clerks.
