On Friday, 25th August 2023, a devastating fire engulfed the roof of “3 Fairfield Road, Bow E3 2QT,” displacing numerous residents and causing extensive property damage.
Weeks have since passed, but the affected leaseholders remain in a state of uncertainty, awaiting clear communication, support, and action from the responsible parties
The fire, believed to have originated on the roof of the property, has raised several pressing concerns. The roof is known to house various installations, including solar panels and telephone masts, which have become a focal point of inquiries into the fire’s cause.
In the aftermath of the blaze, many residents have been left without a home. To add to the distress, half of the flats have suffered from flooding, after the recent torrential rains.
