GRENFELL UNITED

On the Government's announcement to demolish Grenfell Tower, Grenfell United bereaved and survivors family group said:

"We've said this to every Secretary of State for Housing since the very beginning: consult the bereaved and survivors meaningfully before reaching a decision on the Tower.

"Angela Rayner could not give a reason for her decision to demolish the Tower. She refused to confirm how many bereaved and survivors had been spoken to in the recent, short four week consultation. But judging from the room alone-the vast majority of whom were bereaved-no one supported her decision. But she claims it is based on our views.

"Today's meeting showed just how upset bereaved and survivors are about not having their views heard or considered in this decision.

"Ignoring the voices of bereaved on the future of our loved one's gravesite is disgraceful and unforgivable".
