NEARLY 100 homeless families are forced to live in cramped and dangerous conditions on an industrial estate, Labour MP Siobhain McDonagh said yesterday – and many similar “death traps” exist across the country six months on from the Grenfell atrocity.

Eighty-four families – including around 200 children – are “desperate to escape” Connect House in Mitcham, south London, the MP for Mitcham and Morden  said during the Commons debate.

Ms McDonagh said that the location of the estate was so remote that one resident had to give birth in a car park without assistance because the ambulance crew couldn't find the estate, with the woman losing her baby as a result.
