July 7 bombing survivor Beverli Rhodes, from Kennington, Ashford

A survivor of the London Underground bombings, who lives in Ashford, is due to go to a meeting in Westminster this morning as the Intelligence and Security Committee publishes its report into the security failings in the lead-up to the July 7 terror attacks.

Beverli Rhodes, of Nettlefield, Kennington, is attending the meeting along with other survivors and bereaved relatives.

Ms Rhodes, of the Survivors Coalition Foundation, said: "I’m hoping to find out what our security forces and certainly the intelligence services knew before the attack."

Ms Rhodes, who was living in North London at the time, was in a tube under Russell Square when suicide bombers attacked the underground.

Ms Rhodes decided to move from London to Ashford as a result of being in the terror attack.
