London Mayor Sadiq Khan becomes involved in a public dispute after reports that air conditioning is switched off for some homeless families during a period of extreme heat. Coverage focused on conditions for residents at Britannia Point in Colliers Wood, where temperatures inside apartments reportedly reached around 37C. The reports say at least two children were hospitalised, raising concerns about the impact of the heat on vulnerable families. Multiple outlets describe the controversy as a disagreement over whether adequate cooling measures are in place and how responsibility is being handled during heatwave conditions. The reporting highlights that the issue centres on whether air conditioning should remain active for residents in emergency or temporary housing during hot weather, and what steps are taken to manage risk to children and other vulnerable people. The sources characterise the mayor’s involvement as an intervention in a wider row, with criticism directed at the arrangements in place for homeless families during the heatwave and calls for clearer action to prevent similar outcomes.
