Easton tower block fire leaves young mum and autistic son traumatised and still in need of somewhere to live

A traumatised young mum and her autistic son have been told they have to go back to live in Twinnell House, despite doctors telling council housing chiefs the prospect would damage their health.

And Selma Muuse said the way Bristol City Council has dealt with her and her six-year-old son since the fatal fire in the tower block in Easton has ‘added more trauma after trauma’, with police being called to evict her from a hotel room, and she and her son being moved around between five different hotels.

She said she asked Bristol Mayor Marvin Rees in person to help her eight days ago and she said after she described what had happened to her since the fire, he told her the way the council had treated her was ‘disgusting’, but since then the treatment has continued.
