Over a year since the Grenfell Tower fire, many survivors continue to live in temporary accommodation. The destruction of the tower and its aftermath have shown that safety comes at a certain price, making the social divide between those who can afford to pay this price and those who cannot more apparent than ever. In particular, the fire has revealed the urgency of its survivors having a greater voice and stronger representation.
The Grenfell Tower Inquiry was launched the day after the tragedy but has been critiqued for failing to adequately address the concerns of the aggrieved.
