现在

Caxton Works 的五栋楼现均收到撤离指示。据报道,酒店费用需要预先支付,家庭亟须了解建筑安全情况,以及在别处居住的费用由谁承担。

当家人被告知他们的住所危险到无法居住时,谁来支付另觅住处的费用?在坎宁镇的 Caxton Works,这个问题已成为五栋楼所有居民迫切面对的问题。撤离指示范围扩大,据报道酒店房间需要预付费用,而何时能回家仍未公布。⁠1

眼下的安全指示很明确:居民必须继续远离,直至另行通知。但费用安排并不明确。最初的紧急应对已演变成更长期的流离失所,却没有公开说明谁将承担住宿费用、如何报销,或需要进行哪些工程才能确保建筑安全。

2026 年 10 月 24 日,我们曾报道,三栋楼约有 211 户居民撤离;对于无处可去的人,相关方面当晚提供了紧急住宿和支援。该报道反映的是纽汉区政府对 Centurion Tower、St Vincent Court 和 Sovereign Tower 的大致统计,并非目前撤离范围的情况。⁠15

变化发生在 10 月 30 日星期五晚间,当时 Thanet Tower 以及纽汉区政府称为 Prince Court 的楼宇居民接到撤离指示。区政府 10 月 31 日发布的更新证实,因出现新的结构安全隐患,居民已获建议撤离。但这并不能证明所有人都已离开。BBC London 将第五栋楼称为 Prince Tower;该项目也称为 Royal Gateway。⁠1⁠3⁠5

BBC London 11 月 2 日的报道估计,流离失所的家庭至少有 250 户。纽汉区政府尚未公布五栋楼的总数。这个最低估计既不是个人总人数,也不代表酒店房间需求量:住户可能住在亲属家、酒店或其他地方。不能将其当作精确的住宿人数统计。⁠1⁠15

离开只是第一步

10 月 23 日 03:00 左右,在检查和结构工程师提交报告后,首次撤离在没有事先通知的情况下进行。纽汉区政府称,伦敦消防队前一晚已向其发出警报。到 11 月 2 日,塔楼外张贴了警告“有生命危险”的告示,居民则在收拾行李箱、植物和其他物品。回去取物品并不意味着获准重新在楼内居住。⁠1⁠15

一位父亲回去取必需品时说,他与妻子和两个年幼孩子共同居住的公寓是他的“全部投资”。他告诉 BBC:“我没有别的地方可去。”他的处境并不能代表每户家庭,却揭示了现实困境:无法使用自己付费居住的房子,并不会让人自动拥有另觅住所的资金。⁠1

BBC 目前报道称,居民必须预先支付酒店房费。我们此前报道中提到的过夜紧急住宿,并不保证之后仍有免费房间。现有区政府公开信息中,没有任何安排说明报销资格、支出上限、预订流程或付款日期。最新报道也没有证明存在涵盖每位居民的统一支付政策。⁠1⁠3⁠9

目前没有证据表明保险能提供普遍解决方案。Hard Hat Report 称,一家保险公司拒绝承保临时住房费用,并将楼板问题视为建筑缺陷。这是据报的保险方立场,并非关于问题成因的技术结论,也不能证明每户人家的索赔都遭到拒绝。其他居民能否获得保障取决于各自的保单;无法保证会获赔或报销。⁠4

纽汉区政府表示,正设法帮助最脆弱的居民,但并非自动负有安置所有流离失所者的义务。其支持信息列出的休息中心是 Beckton Community Centre,地址为 14 East Ham Manor Way, London E6 5NG。这些有日期的信息仅说明了一个支援地点,并未确认目前的开放时间、可用酒店房间或保证能获得安置。⁠1⁠3

怎样才能确保这些建筑安全?

核心隐患涉及转换楼板——位于各楼栋下方、用于承重的大型混凝土板。据 BBC 报道,楼宇管理方 Prime Property Management 此前表示,结构工程师发现转换楼板存在“迫在眉睫的生命危险”。Prime 未回应该广播机构为其 11 月 2 日报道提出的置评请求。⁠1

《Construction Management》报道称,一块支撑两座塔楼的混凝土板出现裂缝。随后,Hard Hat Report 将 Thanet Tower 和 Prince Court 下方的楼板描述为“尺寸过小且严重超载”,并称这是工程师的结论。这些是媒体报道中的说法,读者无法对照公开发布的工程报告加以核实。它们并未确定根本原因、必要的维修措施,也未说明每栋楼是否都存在完全相同的缺陷。⁠7⁠5

最新报道中没有提及楼宇倒塌或有人受伤。这并不减轻撤离警告的重要性。同样,仅有警告并未提供维修计划或安全入住的时间表。相关工程报告尚未公布,也没有宣布返家日期。⁠1

Galliard Homes 约在九年前建成该项目;居民包括私人租户和产权租赁者。开发商表示,正与独立结构工程师紧急调查,并与相关各方合作制定后续措施。它承认居民承受着巨大的压力,并表示目标是找到安全的解决方案,让居民得以返家。这些承诺尚不等于安全认证或有明确日期的计划。⁠1

参与其中的机构各有不同职责。纽汉区政府拥有这片土地,并已派出健康与安全检查员及建筑专家。Prime 负责管理楼宇并传达撤离指示;区政府正与其合作,确保居民明白必须离开。但这些职责本身并不能确定是谁造成了缺陷,也不能确定谁依法应对住宿费用及其他损失负责。⁠1⁠3

损失不止于住户

关闭楼宇还导致工作场所和托儿服务中断。一家位于底层的日式餐厅业主未具名,他告诉 BBC,自己和员工失去了工作,也没有了餐厅收入,而且不知道何时才能恢复营业。他提到,员工中有在此工作多年的老员工,他们有家庭、有经济责任,也背负着房贷。⁠1

业主称,另有 12 家与餐厅有关联的企业受到影响。这是他对更广泛影响的说法,并非经核实、被要求关闭的其他经营场所数量。他担心,如果无法获得保险赔付,餐厅将“彻底停摆”;永久关门是他描述的一种风险,并非已经确定的结果。⁠1

Golden Sparks 托儿所也已关闭,该园照看着超过 80 名婴儿和学龄前儿童。一名受影响家庭代表告诉 BBC,有些家庭失去了住所和托儿所两方面的使用权。另一些家庭则面临仓促寻找替代托儿服务的难题,可能不得不请无薪假或支付额外费用。目前尚未确定替代托儿所地点,也没有建立全面的替代安排。⁠1

住房部长 Flo Eshalomi 于 11 月 2 日在下议院发言时表示,官员正在支持纽汉区政府,并与开发商及保修服务提供方沟通,“确保他们尽快应对此事”。这一介入并不能证明资金或维修方案已经达成一致。居民需要的答案仍然具体而明确:哪些工程能让住所恢复安全、什么证据可以允许返家,以及在此之前谁来支付他们在别处生活的费用。⁠1

  2. 41小时后

  3. 伦敦消防队接到电话,称坎宁镇霍伊街一栋公寓楼存在危险结构。一辆来自波普拉尔消防站的消防车前往现场。

  4. 居民被疏散。区议会范围更广的声明指出,主权塔、百夫长塔和圣文森特庭院共有约211户家庭。

  5. 47小时后

播出原貌
  1. Families across all five Caxton Works blocks must stay out of their homes.
  2. On October 24, we reported around 211 households evacuated across three buildings, with emergency accommodation provided overnight. Two more blocks have since come under evacuation instructions. The displacement now reportedly reaches at least 250 households.
  3. Residents now face upfront hotel bills, while businesses and a nursery have closed. What will make these homes safe to return to, and who will pay for somewhere else to live until then?
  4. The original buildings are Centurion Tower, St Vincent Court and Sovereign Tower. The expansion covers Thanet Tower and Prince Court. Newham Council uses Prince Court for the building also called Prince Tower. The development is known as Caxton Works or Royal Gateway.
  5. The additional instructions went out on Friday evening, October 30. Newham's October 31 update confirmed that residents of those two buildings had been advised to leave. That doesn't tell us whether everyone has left. Residents remain instructed to stay away until further notice.
  6. At least 250 means households, each potentially containing several people. Newham hasn't published a total for all five blocks. Families may be in hotels, with relatives or elsewhere, so this figure doesn't tell us how many hotel rooms are needed.
  7. The first evacuation happened without notice at about three in the morning on October 23, following inspections and structural engineers' reports. The London Fire Brigade had alerted Newham the previous night. By November 2, warning posters on the towers said “danger to life”. Residents were collecting suitcases, plants and essentials, with a removal van outside.
  8. Prime Property Management said engineers had identified an “imminent risk to life” linked to a transfer slab, a large supporting concrete slab. Reported concerns include cracking and slabs beneath the additional blocks being too small and heavily overstressed.
  9. The underlying engineering report hasn't been published, so the cause and repair requirements are still unclear. No collapse or injuries have been reported. Galliard Homes built the blocks about nine years ago. Private tenants and leaseholders live there. The developer says it's investigating urgently with independent structural engineers and working with the other parties on next steps.
  10. Newham owns the land and has sent health and safety inspectors and building experts to investigate. Prime manages the buildings and communicates evacuation instructions. The council is working with Prime to make sure residents understand they must leave. Those different responsibilities are now part of the effort to keep people safe and work out what happens next.
  11. A ground-floor Japanese restaurant has closed, leaving its owner and staff without work or income from the business. The owner says another 12 connected businesses have suffered. He fears permanent shutdown if he can't obtain an insurance payout.
  12. His employees have families, commitments and mortgages, and he says they have no information about when work can resume. Separately, one father collecting essentials described his flat as his entire investment. He lives there with his wife and two young children. “I don't have anywhere else to go,” he said.
  13. Golden Sparks nursery cared for more than 80 babies and pre-school children before it closed. Some families have lost access to both home and childcare. Others face finding replacement care at short notice, potentially taking unpaid leave or paying extra.
  14. Residents are being asked to pay for hotel rooms upfront. The overnight emergency accommodation provided during the first evacuation hasn't become a guarantee of continuing free rooms. Reimbursement arrangements remain unclear. An insurer has declined temporary-housing cover, treating the slab problem as a building defect. Other households' cover will depend on their own policies.
  15. Newham says it's trying to help the most vulnerable residents, but it doesn't automatically have a duty to house everyone displaced. Its support update identifies Beckton Community Centre as a rest centre. That dated information doesn't guarantee a hotel placement or confirm current opening hours.
  16. Housing minister Flo Eshalomi told the Commons on November 2 that officials were supporting Newham. She said they were engaging with the developer and warranty providers to ensure they responded “as swiftly as possible”.
  17. Galliard says it recognises residents' distress and wants a safe solution that lets them return. Engineers still need to determine the work required, and responsibility for accommodation and business-interruption costs remains unsettled. No return date has been announced. Residents remain barred from living in the buildings until further notice.
