Devastated to hear that Giles Peaker @nearlylegal has passed away. He supported Ledbury residents tirelessly, helping us secure safe homes & later gave his time freely to @TowerBlocksUK to help advise tenants on their rights. A huge loss. Thoughts with his family and colleagues.

The Grenfell Tower inquiry’s final report is out today for those who were affected. 7 years since the fire I can only imagine how they’re feeling. I know many will be thinking of them as well 💚

“How dare you”: Homeless Dagenham fire victims react to flammable material on buildings. Work to remove unsafe cladding stalls on other towers 7 years after Grenfell. @RagsMartel reports ahead of next week’s final Inquiry recommendations

"This is a story of corporate deceit, government deregulation drives and a construction industry in a race to the bottom." ✍️ @KateLamble #Grenfell bbc.com/news/articles/c62305…

I heard years of Grenfell testimony. Here's why the disaster could have been prevented

Opportunities missed and warnings unheeded - what the public inquiry into the fire has been told.

Big step this - govt confirms it will bring forward evacuation plans for residents with disabilities, and provide funding. Was a major recommendation of first phase of the Grenfell Inquiry, rejected by Conservatives questions-statements.parliam…

What's it been like to grow up after a tragedy like Grenfell? Losing your home, friends, family, and natural sense of safety and justice. We spent the summer with four incredible young people, ahead of the final Inquiry report this week. youtube.com/watch?v=DSKRLJSS…

As of today - the Ledbury Estate tower blocks are being evacuated….again. 7 years since we were decanted from these dangerous blocks ourselves, the new temporary tenants have been told they must suddenly leave, for the same reasons. Quite an unbelievable story.

An interesting development. Large Panel System tower block leaseholder residents have challenged the council after receiving huge bills for structural remediation work to their block which is at risk of progressive collapse.

Today marks 15 years since the fatal Lakanal House fire. 6 people died including a newborn baby. If the coroners recommendations had been implemented following the inquest - Grenfell would likely never have happened. Lessons have still not been learned. towerblocksuk.com/lakanal
