GRENFELL TOWER is set to be be “carefully” demolished in a process likely to take two years, the government confirmed today.

The official announcement on the burned west London block’s future follows criticism from some bereaved families and survivors of the 2017 fire there, following a private meeting earlier this week.

The tower will be brought down to ground level, with some parts potentially included in a memorial “if the community wishes.”
