Speaking in front of the demonstration was newly elected Kensington MP Emma Dent Coad , who is still a borough councillor, and who spoke at the meeting.
She said it was a disgrace that those who lost their homes and much more were still sitting in hotel rooms.
She said: “They’re in limbo.
“It’s disgraceful really. They’re not getting the help they want.”
A large NUT banner could also be seen, showing the largest teachers’ union was lending its support.
The demonstration took place at around 5.45pm, 45 minutes before the council meeting commenced.
