Fire, Resilience and Emergency Planning Committee: Building and fire safety
Channel: London Assembly
Date: 2022-06-15

Five years after the Grenfell Tower tragedy, many Londoners still go to bed each night in homes with serious fire safety failings.

Although progress has been made, there are concerns as to whether the current measures are enough to deal with the scale of the building safety crisis.

The Government has introduced the Building Safety and Fire Safety Acts and announced a Fire Reform White Paper and consultation. But how will these measures protect residents from building safety defects and fires and make sure this tragedy can never happen again?

Watch the London Assembly Fire, Resilience and Emergency Planning Committee consider building and fire safety, following the fifth anniversary of the Grenfell Tower fire.
