City Council to carry out review of how it handled the aftermath of a fire in the area.

The city council has now announced that it will carry out a review into how it handled the incident in Sandyford when a blaze, caused by a disposable barbecue led to people being evacuated from their homes. .

Local residents and organisations such as Goldenhill Workingmen's Club have been widely praised for helping those affected, both during and after the fire.

But there has been criticism of Stoke-on-Trent City Council, particularly in relation to its communications and how it supported local volunteers.
