The 2017 Grenfell Tower fire tragically claimed 72 lives in West London. In response, the UK government has announced investigations into seven organizations implicated in the disaster, potentially barring them from future public contracts.
These organizations include manufacturers of cladding and insulation materials, as well as contractors involved in the tower's refurbishment. The government has committed to implementing all 58 recommendations from the public inquiry, aiming to reform building safety and enhance accountability within the construction industry.
Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner emphasized the necessity of these measures to prevent such a tragedy from recurring.
Despite these initiatives, some critics argue that justice remains elusive, with ongoing delays overshadowing criminal accountability. The Grenfell United campaign group has expressed frustration over the slow pace of change and the lack of prosecutions related to the disaster.
