Residents of St Mark’s Square in Bromley have 'had enough' and no longer want to live there.

Josh Cope lives in a flat two floors below the unit that caught fire and says he no longer feels safe in the building

It was reported that the complex was still undergoing repairs from a fire on the 15th floor of another block, Brouard Court, which damaged the slanted roof of the building on 4 July 2022. "Luckily, we’ve got family locally who are on holiday so they said that we can have their house for two weeks, but after that I don’t know where I could end up.”Paulin Ngon, 39, has lived in Brouard Court for four years.

Mr Ngon said he feared the whole St Mark’s Square complex could have burned down during the fire in 2022. "Work is underway to repair any damage caused so that people can return to their homes as soon as possible," they added.Anne Brighton, director of neighbourhood services at Moat Homes, said the company’s current focus was to make sure its customers were safe, supported and had alternative housing.
