The final report published by the Grenfell Tower Inquiry, photographed outside Dorland House in London, It has presented findings on how the west London tower block came to be in a condition which allowed the flames to spread so quickly, claiming the lives of 72 people, September 4, 2024
DISTRUST and dislike towards Grenfell Tower residents by landlords led to a failure to observe basic responsibilities, an inquiry report found today.
The report into the fire, which claimed 72 lives, found that some occupants regarded tenant management as “an uncaring and bullying overlord” that “failed to take their concerns seriously.”
It said that management regarded some residents as “militant troublemakers” and that there was a “toxic atmosphere.”
