Residents and bereaved families say they have been left in limbo over the future of Grenfell Tower after a decision to award a new maintenance contract for the building until 2027.
In May 2021, the engineering consultants Atkins recommended in a government-commissioned report that demolition should start no later than May 2022 based on protecting the safety of those working in and living around the tower. It warned that the concrete structure was at risk of further deterioration.
The government has done nothing despite the cost, the safety concerns for the estate and the emotional toll that a lack of progress is taking on those who live next to the tower and those who lost loved ones, she said.
