Families living in a north London block of flats judged to be at risk of collapse have told us they are living in fear.

Eighty seven households have been told to leave the Tangmere block by the end of October, but only 19 have accepted accommodation.

Haringey Council said it had made a series of commitments to residents, including a promise that they will be able to return to the estate once the block is strengthened or new homes built, and that they will not be worse off financially due to the move.

The council said: "Tangmere absolutely needs improvements. We know there have been a number of issues, which staff are constantly trying to address. But in terms of long-term solutions, the block has inherent design flaws which make many issues very difficult to resolve."
