Having followed Peter Apps's coverage of the Grenfell Tower inquiry, and as part of that ended up reading various Inside Housing other pieces too, this book didn't really say anything I hadn't already read. But it's a good summary of everything he's learned over the years leading up to the fire, and then the years of the inquiry itself. ( ) On 14 June 2017, a 24-storey block of flats went up in flames. The fire climbed up cladding as flammable as solid petrol. Fire doors failed to self-close. No alarm rang out to warn sleeping residents. As smoke seeped into their homes, all were told to 'stay put'. Many did - and they died. It was a disaster decades in the making. Peter Apps exposes how a steady stream of deregulation, corporate greed and institutional indifference caused this tragedy. It is the story of a grieving community forsaken by our government, a community still waiting for change. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

The truth about Grenfell at long last. It is hardly possible to admit it. That the biggest tower block fire in UK history was preventable. The government had been warned for years that the building materials were not fire safe. Up until 14th June 2017, ministers' response had always been: 'Show me the bodies.' Journalist Peter Apps weaves poignant survivor testimony with the detailed decision-making that led to that fateful night. In bringing the unfolding tragedy to life, he exposes exactly where things have gone wrong with social housing so that it can never happen again. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
