SURVIVORS of the Grenfell Tower inferno have told MPs that it could take a generation to rebuilt trust in authorities, which have been too slow to learn from the disaster.

Three members of campaign group Grenfell United addressed Parliament’s housing committee today.

Campaigner Adel Chaoui told MPs that some survivors had been rehoused in unsafe properties.

“We’ve had the ceilings of balconies falling down into the balcony cavity in brand new buildings,” he said.

“And given where they lived and what they went through, the last thing you would have expected would be a brand new building to be constructed in a way where parts of the building are falling down to where you could be sitting.”

The group also highlighted the concerns over ongoing health issues from the fire.

Activist Bellal El Guenuni said: “We’re 25 months in now — there were people that directly inhaled large amounts of toxins, smoke on the night. 

“The response from the physical health side of things was inadequate and frankly unacceptable.”

Mr Chaoui added: “There’s no screening at all. The advice from Public Health England is if you are feeling like you are not well, go see your GP. That’s the extent.” 

Their concerns were echoed by Edward Daffarn, who lived on the 16th floor of Grenfell Tower.

“I fear there’s an element inside the council that believe that they’ve suffered enough and its time to move on and go back to business as usual,” he said, warning: “Trust is going to take maybe a generation before it can be rebuilt.”

Mr Guenuni added: “The process is far too slow in terms of what needs to be done ... It’s like nothing has changed, it’s like Grenfell didn’t happen.”
