GRENFELL campaigners were still seeking justice on the third anniversary of the disaster today as they condemned government inaction to make buildings and their residents safe from fires. 

Sunday marked three years since a horrific blaze in the west London tower block broke out in the middle of the night, killing 72 people.

About 300 residential buildings are still wrapped in ACM Grenfell-style cladding, the majority in London, despite the government promising that any such materials would be removed by this month.
