People taking part in a silent walk along Cambridge Gardens in London on the third anniversary of the Grenfell Tower fire
(Picture: PA)Survivors and the bereaved of the Grenfell Tower fire will take part in a silent walk in memory of their loved ones and to call for justice four and a half years on from the deadly blaze.
People will gather at Kensington Town Hall on Tuesday evening before walking to the block of flats. It is the first time in 18 months such a gathering has taken place, campaign group Grenfell United said.
The walk comes a week after the Government apologised for past failures in oversight of the system regulating safety within the construction industry and the supervision of building control bodies as part of the public inquiry into the fire.
A lawyer representing the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities told a hearing that mistakes and missed opportunities to learn from previous fires created the environment for the blaze to happen.
The walk also comes after Mercedes ended its sponsorship deal with Kingspan, saying it was “not appropriate” to continue the partnership. Kingspan’s logo appeared on Lewis Hamilton’s car at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, sparking protests due to the use of Kingspan products in the tower.
Grenfell United said it would be calling for “additional actions in the pursuit of justice” and would reveal the new actions ton Tuesday evening.
