Dozens of people gathered in the centre of Manchester to mark the five year anniversary of the Grenfell tower fire which killed 72 people.
Top bosses including Mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham, Salford city mayor Paul Dennett, Manchester City Council leader Bev Craig, and councillor Pat Karney were all at the small vigil outside Manchester Central Library on Tuesday evening, June 14, to mark the tragic occasion, and call for action and justice for those affected by the tragedy.
Andy Burnham addressed those gathered to say that leaders in Manchester would never stop pushing for justice and accountability, as well as a resolution to the "cladding crisis" that has affected hundreds of homes across the region, leaving some flats in Salford freezing after unsafe cladding was taken down and not replaced, and a block in Trafford that was STILL fitted with the same dangerous cladding seen in the Grenfell disaster in March - just a few months ago.
