The Metropolitan Police have issued a statement in response to the recent publication of the Grenfell Tower Inquiry report, calling it a “significant milestone” for the survivors, bereaved families, and the wider Grenfell community, as they continue to seek justice and accountability for the 2017 tragedy.
Deputy Assistant Commissioner Stuart Cundy, who leads the police investigation into the fire, expressed his condolences to those affected, emphasizing that the thoughts of the police remain with the victims and survivors. He acknowledged the report as “direct, comprehensive” and containing “clear conclusions.”
“We have one chance to get our investigation right,” Cundy said. He reiterated the Metropolitan Police’s dedication to ensuring those responsible for the tragedy are held to account and assured the community that their pursuit of justice would be both meticulous and swift.
The publication of the inquiry report marks a key step in addressing the failings that contributed to the disaster, and as investigations continue, many remain hopeful that the conclusions will lead to the necessary legal and systemic changes to prevent future tragedies.
