Wider Grenfell Rehousing Policy

Rehousing policy for council tenants of Barandon Walk, Hurstway Walk, Testerton Walk, Bramley House and Treadgold House residents

The Grenfell Tower tragedy had a very deep impact on the community and especially residents who live or lived close to the Tower. Residents of Barandon Walk, Hurstway Walk and Testerton Walks (the Walkways), Treadgold House and Bramley House, and their families, were particularly affected.

The Council introduced the Wider Grenfell Rehousing Policy in February 2018 to help council tenants who do not feel able to return to, or remain in, their home in the Walkways, Treadgold House or Bramley House. Wider Grenfell priority helps Council tenants from these homes move to another permanent social housing home.

Although Wider Grenfell priority falls under our main Housing Allocation Scheme, it has its own policy which explains how certain rules differ from our main Scheme.
