BBC Radio 4 - You and Yours, Call You and Yours: When lives were on the line - how did you get your voice heard?

When lives were on the line - how did you get your voice heard?

When lives were on the line - how did you get your voice heard? Last week's tragic fire at Grenfell Tower showed how a community tried - but failed - to get its voice heard.

How easy is it to speak truth to power? When lives were on the line - how did you get your voice heard?

Last week's fire at Grenfell Tower showed how a community of ordinary people tried - but failed - to get those in charge to make their homes safer - with tragic consequences. Alongside the grief is anger, and a claim that poorer people have not been listened to. 

When you raised serious concerns to people in power, how did they respond? Whether it's safety in public, at home, school, on the roads or in the health service, we'd like to hear your experience. Was action taken? Is it harder to get your voice heard if you're poor?
