Details

In early July, we published and sent out information about upcoming safety works in Grenfell Tower. Contractors will install new ‘props’ – aluminium, weight-bearing supports that are commonly used in buildings – to supplement those that were installed shortly after the fire. The Tower is safe, and these works will ensure its stability until a decision is made about its future.

At an online event on 27 July, panel members – including a member of the Grenfell Tower site management team and one of the external contractors responsible for safety on site – took questions from the community. These questions have been summarised, grouped into themes and responded to in this document.

If you were unable to attend the online event, you can watch the event video:
