Verdict of seven-year inquiry into disaster that killed 72 people apportions responsibility widely

The final report of the Grenfell Tower public inquiry comes seven years, two months and 21 days after the fire.The final report of the Grenfell Tower public inquiry comes seven years, two months and 21 days after the fire.

The inquiry was highly critical of the tenant management organisation , which was appointed by the local authority, the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea , to look after its thousands of homes but, according to the report, consistently ignored residents’ views.

In cross-examination under oath, Pickles vehemently insisted the anti-red tape drive had not covered building regulations. But the inquiry said this evidence was “flatly contradicted by that of his officials and by the contemporaneous documents”. The Crown Prosecution Service is yet to make any charging decisions and any trials are not expected to start until 2027.

The report described the “long-lasting trauma” of “a community whose lives have been changed forever”. Arconic, the US aluminium giant that supplied the plastic-filled cladding panels that were the main cause of the fire’s spread, “deliberately concealed from the market the true extent of the danger of Reynobond 55 PE in cassette form , particularly on high-rise buildings”, the inquiry found.

The LABC “was willing to accommodate the customer at the expense of those who relied on certificates. As a result the LABC was also the victim of dishonest behaviour on the part of unscrupulous manufacturers.”
