The survey asked borough residents to put a number on how much they care about “The tragedy of Grenfell and the help for the families affected and the wider community.”
The leaflets dropped through letterboxes in the West London borough on Sunday to attempt to build political support ahead of next year’s local elections for the conservative led council.
Residents were asked to circle the number which represents to them how important local issues were.
These included, “keeping council tax low”, “rubbish collection”, “recycling” and “Crossrail 2”.
Labour MP David Lammy tweeted his dismay ending with quote “Yes I’m still bloody angry.”
What is wrong with these people? What sort of society are we becoming? Yes @KCFConservative I still care about Grenfell and I'm bloody angry. pic.twitter.com/KMlN5ZyXoY

Within the 80 people who died in the fire was David Lammy’s friend, a 24-year-old artist Khadija Saye.
Responding to Mr Lammy, Alok Sharma, the housing minister, said: “The Department for Communities and Local Government is working closely with the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea to support them in ensuring that residents of Grenfell Tower and Grenfell Walk will be provided with a new home in social housing within the period of one year.”
After five months of the Grenfell Tower Fire 178 children are still living in hotels, and only 26 families out of 202 are living in permanent homes.
In June Theresa May promised that survivors will be rehoused within 3 weeks of the tragedy. Today marks five months since the tragedy.
