\"Grenfell<\/div>\n

The UK government has published an update on its plan for the deconstruction of Grenfell Tower<\/a>, detailing how it will be dismantled floor by floor, eight years after the deadly fire.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the report, the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government<\/a> (MHCLG) outlines how contractor Deconstruct will carry out work behind the 24-storey tower’s white protective wrapping.<\/p>\n

The tower will be taken down floor by floor, starting from the top. Each level is expected to take one month to dismantle.<\/p>\n

MHCLG’s decision to “carefully take down” the structure<\/a>, which prompted concerns that the government “ignored the voices” of the bereaved, was made in February.<\/p>\n

Plan “respects the significance of the building”<\/strong><\/p>\n

“We recognise that Grenfell Tower has a deep personal significance to those most affected by the tragedy and the land is sacred to families,” MHCLG said in its update<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“The government is committed to ensuring that all work at the Grenfell Tower site is carried out to the highest standards,” it continued.<\/p>\n

“We will continue to ensure all work at the site respects the significance of the building, is considerate, trauma-aware and minimises disruption for those living, studying and working nearby.”<\/p>\n

Today, all that remains of Grenfell Tower is its 67-metre-high shell that stood after the deadly fire in June 2017, which was caused by a malfunctioning fridge-freezer. The fire rapidly spread across the block via its flammable exterior cladding, claiming the lives of 72 people.<\/p>\n

It currently stands wrapped in a white covering emblazoned with a large green heart, which is widely used as a symbol to honour those affected by the tragedy.<\/p>\n
