An action group at a West London tower block ravaged by fire have said their warnings fell on "deaf ears" after highlighting safety concerns about the block.
The cause of the blaze at the Grenfell tower in North Kensington, is not known, but a blog post from the Grenfell Action Group from November 2016 said "only a catastrophic event" would expose issues residents had.
Several hundred people would have been in the block when the fire was reported at 1.15am on Wednesday. Several people are known to be dead while 50 have been taken to hospital.
The group said there was one entry and exit to Grenfell Tower during improvement works at the block in Latimer Road and it had issues with evacuation procedures at the building.
Following the fire, the group posted: "All our warnings fell on deaf ears and we predicted that a catastrophe like this was inevitable and just a matter of time."
