It must stay—not just as a memorial to those who tragically lost their lives, but as a stark reminder. A warning to those who cut costs, put profit above safety, and treat the working class as disposable.
I live in the area and tend to disagree as it’s going to become unstable as a structure. However, we definitely need something to remember those who died and the reasons why the fire happened. A memorial, the same height as the block would be good - funded by those who did the cladding.
I would assume there are ways to protect the integrity of the structure. I defer to the community and families to decide, it’s certainly not for government.
I feel strongly that it should stay as a constant reminder that the residents told anyone who would listen that it was, as it became, an inferno of a death trap.
Memorial Gardens get quietly down played over time, and quietly sold off, down graded to a tiny plaque somewhere.
Blown out of all proportion by an increasing anti government news paper. The vast majority at the very least want it gone now. That's ex residents and locals. The only people who want it to remain are those who are afraid it will be a step towards forgetting it and the process of compensation.

On that theme, Could Angie, from a council house, and Rachel in accounts change into something intelligent.

Make a space that can be used for remembrance, and healing, by, and for everyone.
