Everyone passes responsibility to another department. Costs are cut and money saved. There are no sprinklers installed, and a claim is made that the cladding materials used were “inert and would not burn at all”, despite heavy evidence to the contrary. A resident who expresses concern over fire safety is dismissed as “a known troublemaker”. These are verbatim accounts from the inquiry itself. You want to scream. But crucially, you want action. Seventy-two dead and still no arrests? How come?

North Herefordshire CLP will be holding a minutes silence at our next CLP Meeting on the 30th June, and intend to carry out fundraising for the Grenfell Foundation at future CLP events.
