Homeless families placed in temporary accommodation in London were told they could not use the in-built air conditioning as it had "not been offered as an amenity" for them, leading to two children being hospitalised during recent heatwaves. The company managing some of the tenancies involved told the Guardian households in temporary accommodation had now been told they could use the air conditioning. You are welcome to use a portable fan or portable air conditioning unit at your own arrangement in the meantime." He added: "With another heatwave imminent, it's vital that air conditioning is restored immediately to everyone in the tower to help prevent a tragedy." A statement from Aura Assets Management said the air conditioning was now "fully operational and tenants have been advised that they are welcome to use it".
