Grenfell survivors still left in limbo one year on from the fire

SCORES of survivors of the Grenfell Tower inferno are still waiting for housing exactly one year since the disaster that killed 72 people in west London.

The tower, 11 surrounding blocks and Downing Street were scheduled to be lit up in green in the early hours of this morning to mark the anniversary of the time the fire broke out.

They will be illuminated from 8pm until midnight for four following evenings.
