Haunting handprints from inside Grenfell Tower are set to be saved but it’s been revealed that the government has “not preserved” a piece of Arabic text from the wall of one of its stairwells.
In a letter seen by the Local Democracy Reporting Service (LDRS), Director for Grenfell Community and Memorial, Camilla Sheldon, informs families that Arabic text from floor 18, reading Allahu Akbar – which means God is the greatest – had been taken to the second site and was “not available to preserve”.
