The UK government has confirmed plans to demolish Grenfell Tower, site of a tragic fire that resulted in 72 deaths, after nearly eight years. Deputy PM Angela Rayner announced this decision amid contrasting opinions from victims' families: some oppose the demolition until justice is served, while others acknowledge the need for the tower's removal. The demolition will take two years, with parts of the building preserved for a future memorial, highlighting ongoing emotional complexities around the site, which many consider sacred.
"The tower was the home of the 72 innocent people who lost their lives, and of survivors whose lives were forever changed..."
"The decision... divided families of the victims... condemning the plan to tear down the building before justice had been meted out..."
