Tower blocks around country still at risk of Grenfell-style tragedy, says FBU chief
Briefly

The inquiry, commissioned by then-prime minister Theresa May, has taken years to complete, a delay Mr Wrack believes has allowed dangerous conditions to persist. The Conservative government at the time pledged to fund the removal of unsafe cladding from residential properties and introduced a Building Safety Fund to support leaseholders. However, it has been a slow process, with data published in June revealing that less than a quarter of the 4,336 identified buildings had completed the necessary works.
Matt Wrack has expressed deep concern over the lack of progress in addressing fire safety and building regulations. He criticized the government, claiming it has failed to address the ongoing cladding crisis and implement substantial fire safety reforms. 'Ourselves, firefighters, and the community feel there has been no justice delivered following the horrific incident.'
Mr Wrack added: 'There has not been substantial change in building safety. We think there needs to be a fundamental change in the approach to policy and look into how the building regulations are enforced and reviewed to prevent future tragedies like Grenfell.'
