Neasden's Gypsy and Traveller site is dangerously overcrowded and at risk of major catastrophe if a fire breaks out. No-one disputes action is needed but locals point to a lack of council planning for population growth, after being given 28 days to leave https://t.co/yJG2lE1Hgg

The entrance doors are broken and no longer close, there's been a major leak and tenants generally feel unsafe - and this West London block of flats is barely 2 years old. Story by @benlynch07 https://t.co/JUR13FE4vr

Southwark Council freely admits it put hitting targets for house building ahead of basic fire safety. Half of the homes didn’t even have a smoke alarm, a fact that will no doubt horrify @LondonFire

As part of our new Broken Homes campaign, we're looking at how Londoners are being displaced, sometimes hundreds of miles from their support network, due to the chronic shortage of temporary accommodation in the city. Story by @robjfirth https://t.co/ujBRsM7aWX

LTNs and clean air schemes seem to be contentious in most areas of London but in Queens Park it's split the neighbourhood in two. @GrantLDReporter spent a lot of time speaking to both sides of the debate, to understand why a bitter feud has developed https://t.co/DpQ37La1FH

Digger Down has built his own house on an A12 roundabout out of pallets and items he found in skips. He even has working electricity. @KatherineEGray has been speaking to him over the last couple of months to write this exceptional story https://t.co/G2uMi19Mdm
