London’s Grenfell Tower, which was engulfed in flames more than seven years ago in a disaster that killed 72 people, will be demolished, bereaved families and survivors said on Thursday.

Angela Rayner had been accused of "ignoring" the voices of people who lost family in the fire in June 2017, which killed 72 people. In its announcement, the government said it would take two years for the tower to be taken down.

Survivors and bereaved families’ groups said Britain’s deputy prime minister had told them that the site of the 2017 catastrophe would be dismantled.
