Mayor's statement on the sixth anniversary of the Grenfell Tower fire

The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, said: “The Grenfell Tower fire was a devastating tragedy and its impact was felt across our nation. On this sixth anniversary we pause to remember the 72 lives tragically cut short and pay tribute to the bereaved, survivors and community of North Kensington, standing in full solidarity with all those impacted. We owe it to them to do everything we can to secure justice and ensure the failings that led to this disaster can never be repeated.
 
“Justice delayed is justice denied and, six years on we should be operating in a different world –one in which fire safety is prioritised and embedded, rules and regulations are ambitious and rigorous, guidance is clear and comprehensive, and the industry is responsible and highly-skilled. 
 
“The Government must implement all of the Inquiry’s recommendations without delay and those responsible for the lives lost must finally be held to account so we can build a safer and fairer London for all.”
