Our response to the Grenfell Tower Inquiry Report

Sue Sutton, Chair of the Greater Manchester Housing Providers Building Safety Group, said:

“Following the publication of the Grenfell Tower Inquiry Phase 2 Report, our thoughts remain with the victims, survivors, the wider Grenfell community and all those affected by the tragedy.

“As a collective of housing providers across Greater Manchester, the safety and wellbeing of our customers and their homes will always be our top priority.

“The findings of this report are a stark reminder of the critical importance of fire and building safety, emphasising the need for accountability, transparency, and for customers’ voices to be heard.

“Our housing partners across Greater Manchester have made significant improvements in building safety and are working hard to deliver the requirements of the new Building Safety Act and the Social Housing Regulation Act, prioritising the safety of our customers and their homes.

“However, we recognise that building safety is a continuous journey of improvement, and we remain committed to working with the fire service, our partners, the Government, fire safety experts, and of course our customers, to ensure they are safe and feel safe in their homes.

“As a group, we will be taking time to fully digest the details and recommendations of the report to ensure that we continue to improve our practices and uphold the highest standards of safety and accountability.”
