Locals face living by the shrouded remains of burned-out Grenfell Tower for another six years.
Residents have been told the block – where 72 died in the June 2017 inferno – cannot come down until the public inquiry on the disaster ends.
And nothing can be done before any prosecutions end as the site in North Kensington, West London, is evidence.
Officials say that will be four years – while demolition will take two years.
Abbas Dadou, chair of the Lancaster West Residents Association, wants faster action and said: “We have lived with the reminder of this appalling tragedy for three years.”
Families also want a feasibility study to “know what is likely to happen and how lives will be impacted by demolition”.
Lord Greenhalgh, minister of state for building, safety and communities, said no decision has been made on the site’s future.
Meanwhile, the Grenfell Next of Kin support group is set to reject the findings of a commission tasked with deciding “the most fitting way” to honour victims, saying it has been “ignored”.
The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea have not commented.
A Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government spokesperson said: “The Grenfell Tower site is owned by the government, which is responsible for its safety and security.
"No decision has yet been made about the future of the Tower, and the bereaved and survivors, and the local community will be continue to be fundamental in any decisions around the future of the site.
“Any decision that is made about Grenfell Tower will be evidence-based and informed by experts, and not before engaging with the community.”
