On the ninth anniversary of the Grenfell tower fire, MP Joe Powell paid tribute to the victims and advocated for criminal accountability for those responsible. He highlighted the ongoing cladding crisis affecting thousands across the UK and called for urgent action on justice and safety reforms. Powell commended the Metropolitan police's progress in handing over files to the Crown Prosecution Service but urged for swift court capacity planning for complex trials. He also pushed for an audit of public contracts with implicated companies, excluding them from future public work if cited in professional misconduct. Powell acknowledged positive changes such as the introduction of a single construction regulator and residential personal emergency evacuation plans, but stressed the need for a national oversight mechanism to track recommendations from all inquiries and investigations. He expressed disappointment over RBKC's decision to remove an opposition chair of the housing scrutiny committee and urged more community involvement in the Lancaster West estate refurbishment.
