The government is to consult with residents, survivor families and the bereaved about “carefully taking down” Grenfell Tower.
The announcement from the Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) that it was considering such a move came after advice from engineering experts about the tower’s condition.
MHCLG said it would offer a mix of online presentations, personal meetings, and one-to-one discussions about the proposals with concerned parties.
It said there would be no change to the tower before the fifth anniversary of the Grenfell Tower disaster which killed 72 people, which falls in June 2022. “It will be at least a year before we begin to implement any decision while the current safety works are ongoing,” it added.
