Our priority is to ensure the wellbeing of those who have been directly affected and Council officers are on-site now supporting those families with their immediate need for accommodation, food, and clothing and will work with them to assess what we need to put in place for the longer term.

We would like to thank the local community for the support they have shown the families at this terrible time, and we are now working with emergency services to establish the cause of the fire and secure the safety of the building.
