Have We Lost Trust In The Westway Trust?

The Westway Trust, established in 1971, was founded with the noble intention of fostering economic and cultural development in North Kensington by giving residents a voice and control over the land beneath the elevated A40. However, as gentrification intensified, the Trust increasingly prioritised lucrative development deals over community empowerment.

Over the decades, the Trust has faced serious allegations of institutional racism and neglect towards its predominantly migrant communities.

The tragic Grenfell Tower fire in 2017 brought renewed scrutiny, particularly over the Trust’s treatment of the local Muslim community and other marginalised groups.

The fallout from the Grenfell Tower fire, which claimed 72 lives, many from migrant backgrounds, exposed the inequalities in housing and safety in the area.

GrenfellSpeaks began on the 14th of June 2017 as a social media news channel following the devastating Grenfell Tower fire in North Kensington, London, which tragically claimed the lives of 72 people.

Our aim back then was to highlight authentic stories of resilience, activism, and community spirit, often absent from mainstream media.

Almost 7 years on from the tragic events at Grenfell Tower, little has changed. The same broken systems that led to the devastating tragedy persist not only in local settings but also across most of the industrialised world.

Through Podspeaks media, we aim to continue the conversation that started almost 7 years ago by providing a platform for diverse voices to come together and discuss issues that affect our daily lives, free from propaganda, spin, or outdated thinking.

Our goal is to make sense of the world around us and share that with our community.

Our firm belief is that every one of us has a role to play in building a better world, and it is our collective responsibility to do our part.

If this sounds like something you can support and be a part of, then please join us.
