Grenfell fire survivors still ‘left in limbo’ seven years on from tragedy
ignage at Grenfell Tower, April 20, 2024

SURVIVORS and bereaved families from the Grenfell fire are yet to receive justice and have been “left in limbo,” according to campaigners, who are marking the tragedy’s seventh anniversary today.

The Grenfell Inquiry expects to publish its final report into the fire, which killed 72 residents of a 24-storey block in North Kensington, in September.

But the Met Police has said investigators will need at least another 12 to 18 months to announce charges, meaning that the bereaved and survivors may have to wait until 2028 – more than a decade after the tragedy – for suspects to face trial.
