Plans for Demolition of Grenfell Tower Spark Controversy Among Survivors and Families

The UK government has confirmed plans to demolish Grenfell Tower, nearly eight years after the tragic fire that claimed 72 lives. This decision has ignited a backlash from survivors and family members of victims, with many expressing anger and frustration. Some believe that demolishing the site risks forgetting the disaster, while others view the tower as a painful reminder of the past. Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner faces criticism for her handling of the situation, with campaigners accusing her of overlooking the concerns of bereaved families. The government indicated that the demolition process will take two years, with parts of the tower being preserved for a memorial. The community remains divided over the future of Grenfell Tower as the demolition plans are set to proceed.
