Our response to the governments announcement today on Grenfell Inquiry Recommendations

Our sympathies to Grenfell United as they navigate the governments decision to demolish Grenfell Tower. It’s vital the voices of families & survivors are heard. We support the call for meaningful consultation, recognising the importance of honouring the memories of those lost.

“Grenfell was blessed with diligent, highly intelligent & highly engaged residents, brave enough to stand up on behalf of their neighbours…The trouble was the system did not give these people power.” ⁦⁦⁦@PeteApps⁩ on where the Inquiry fell short prospectmagazine.co.uk/society/housin…

The Grenfell Inquiry report isn't just a story of a complacent government. Read it carefully and a story emerges of one which routinely covers up the truth unherd.com/newsroom/the-c…
