Grenfell Tower survivors demand say in public inquiry

Residents have written to Theresa May asking to be consulted on terms and scope of investigation and choice of chair

Survivors of the Grenfell Tower fire are demanding a say in the scope and setup of the inquiry into the disaster, including over the choice of the judge appointed to chair it.

Residents in the area acknowledge that such consultation would be unprecedented in such an public inquiry but say it is necessary to restore local trust in the authorities.
