Architects for Social Housing Report on Grenfell Tower

Dear Supporters, Thank you so much for your continued support. Your sharing of this petition has brought us closer to our weekend target of 2500 signatories. We have just 84 to go to reach the target! But let's take it further and keep the pressure on for a transparent investigation and swift arrests. Today Architechs for Social Housing have published a report on Grenfell on their Wordpress site, "The Truth About Grenfell Tower". This report not only looks at the fire and possible causes for the fire, but also a number of issues relating to the estate. The report includes a list of around 60 politicians, civil servants, local authority officials, private contractors and consultants, who it believes should be thoroughly and transparently investigated, or the country risks another disaster with another high death toll.. Echoing our call: "ASH is particularly concerned that the public inquiry ordered by the government into the Grenfell tragedy will only serve as a cover-up operation. “The first thing the announcement of a public inquiry into the Grenfell Tower fire has done… is to have removed all transparency and accountability for the investigation from public scrutiny and placed it in the hands of the very people who are responsible for this crime.” ASH describes this as “systemic corruption that threatens the homes and lives of hundreds of thousands of estate residents across the UK”, and they call for “every individual culpable in this lethal chain of greed and criminal negligence should be arrested, tried and, if found guilty, sentenced – rather than, as is currently happening, being allowed to resign on a severance package”, as has already happened at Kensington and Chelsea.
