Grenfell boss binned crucial inquiry notes
Survivors' group says such ‘indifference never fails to shock and enrage’

A PROJECT manager for the Grenfell Tower refurbishment admitted today to binning her notebooks — despite knowing that a police investigation and public inquiry into the fire were under way.

Claire Williams, who worked for the London borough of Kensington & Chelsea’s tenant management organisation (TMO), said she got rid of the documents when she cleared her desk and left her job.

She left almost a year after the June 2017 fire, which killed 72 people and displaced about 223 more. The blaze was fuelled by flammable cladding installed during the 24-storey block’s refurbishment, which had finished just a month prior.
