Grenfell Tower set for demolition

The BBC is tonight reporting that the remnants of Grenfell Tower are to be demolished, almost eight years after a fire claimed the lives of 72 people.

Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner has reportedly told a meeting with bereaved relatives and survivors.

The decision follows several years of debate over the future of the 24-storey tower, with some hoping it would remain in place as a lasting reminder of the tragedy and others wanting it replaced with a new memorial.

A formal announcement by the government is expected to be made on Friday.

Kimia Zabihyan, representing the group Grenfell Next of Kin which acts for some of the bereaved families, told the BBC she attended the meeting with Rayner where she said the tower would be deconstructed down to the ground level.

She described the meeting as “charged”, but said Rayner appeared to have come along with the “best of intentions”.

The possible demolition of Grenfell Tower was the subject of a Demolition Insider article three weeks ago. You can read that article here.
