Grenfell Tower - "a tragedy in three acts"
Campaigners are calling for changes within the housing sector and prosecutions to be made.
The Grenfell Tower fire in 2017 left 72 people dead. Survivors and campaigners say they are still seeking a form of justice. While a criminal investigation into the disaster is under way, the Met Police has said no prosecutions will be brought until the public inquiry is finished and its findings are published. The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ has been told that could take at least another year. The Crown Prosecution Service could then take months to decide whether to proceed - and it could be several years before trials begin. In short, the Grenfell families will have to wait for justice for a few years longer - and they may not see it before the 10th anniversary of the fire. So far, fewer than half of the recommendations from the inquiry have been adopted into law, according to the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Office. The process has left survivors and bereaved families feeling unable to move on. For 5 Minutes On, the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Affairs Correspondent, Tom Symonds, has been to meet some of them.
