With the introduction of the "right to buy" council homes, several of the flats were bought by their tenants.[1] On 8 October 1984 a new residents' association was formed. As a result of pressure from the occupants, several security improvements including a door entry intercom system were installed,[2] and a concierge was hired in 1987.[19] In 1994 residents in the tower, along with other residents in Kensington & Chelsea council properties, elected to self-manage the properties, in order to avoid increased rents and the threat of eviction.[20]
