Silent Walk For Grenfell
On the 14th June 2017, 72 people died as a result of the Grenfell Tower Fire.
The Fire Brigades Union has been clear from the start that we stand alongside the communities of Grenfell and North Kensington in their fight for justice.
The fire should never have happened and is a direct result of years of building deregulation that has allowed property developers to prioritise profit before people’s safety. Three years on and this is still the case with over 23,000 homes still wrapped in flammable cladding with no real urgency to rectify this shocking statistic.
The inaction from this Government means that another Grenfell type fire is a real possibility with devastating consequences.
On the night of the Grenfell Fire, 85% of the residents were from ethnic minorities. Official housing surveys have found that 40% of high-rise residents in the social rented sector are from BAME communities which make up 14% of the population. Race and social class are at the heart of the inequalities we see today when it comes to safety with residential buildings. Allowing developers of social housing to maximise their profit by cutting safety standards, which in turn puts some of our most vulnerable members of our communities at risk is a national disgrace. The Fire Brigades Union will continue to demand justice for Grenfell and to ensure everyone has a home safe from fire.
On the 14th of every month firefighters from the Fire Brigades Union have joined survivors, bereaved families and the communities of North Kensington to pay respects to those we lost on that tragic night.
The silent walk through the community is a peaceful and dignified way to show our support and to give strength to those who have been affected most.
On the 14th September Oxfordshire Fire Brigades Union members will be showing their support by joining the silent walk and invite you to join them. For details of the walk please contact james.harris@fbu.org.uk or www.grenfellunited.org
