Five years since the Grenfell Tower fire that killed 72 people and devastated the lives of so many, four years since the inquiry began, and two and half years since its phase 1 recommendations were issued, it is unacceptable that no corporate bodies or individuals have been held accountable (Report, 13 June).

There has been virtually no positive change. Instead, we have already seen a rejection of critical life-saving recommendations; the government’s refusal to follow the inquiry’s call for personal emergency evacuation plans to be required for disabled high-rise residents will continue to put many lives in danger. Meanwhile, tens of thousands still live in high rises wrapped in flammable cladding.
