Residents who were moved out of their tower blocks in Camden

after they were deemed not to be safe by the London Fire Brigade

are moving back in, although some say they still don't feel safe.

Tarah Welsh reports from the Chalcot Estate.

It was an operation that's likely to cost millions.

When safety checks were made in response to the Grenfell tragedy,

4,000 people were moved out and workmen went in.

The council says the urgent work's been done and most

residents can move back in. Stephen says he's happy to be home.

Well, you know, after you've been in this block for 40 years,

when you move out of a place, you feel disorientated, you know?

But if it is for your own safety, well, you accept it.

But some people have concerns about moving back.

One couple I spoke to that didn't want to go on camera,

Somebody on our list has been spotted coming out of this

entrance by a typical unmanned surveillance camera.

And if you look at the top left-hand side of the screen,

because that's registered a match, now what we see is the identity

of that person that's come through that doorway.

And that alert will go to the right place.

And this can be one of many, many thousands of such cameras

He has no doubt using the latest technology in intelligence gathering

is essential. The dreadful events of the last

few weeks, you know, should stick in our minds forever.

They should not fade away. We've got to be vigilant

all of the time, and mustn't And we must use the latest

technology to take that But the balance between intruding

in our lives and security is one We need to interrogate

whether we are willing for something that can be very invasive,

that can have a real impact on innocent people's

freedoms every day, whether we are willing to have

Have a very good evening. Good evening. It has been quite a

an interesting picture in a moment. This area of low pressure has

brought sunny spells and calm weather in the far north of

Scotland, and downpours and thunderstorms in the south. Look at
