Derelict 24-storey tower block in West London; site of a 2017 fatal fire and ongoing demolition
Police have submitted their full case files to the Crown Prosecution Service for charging decisions ahead of the 10th anniversary of the Grenfell Tower fire. The CPS says decisions will be made before June 2027. The investigation examines 54 individuals and 20 organisations, with potential charges including corporate manslaughter and health and safety offences. Trials are unlikely before 2028.
The Notting Hill Carnival is under way in London, with the three-day festival drawing crowds for steelpan competitions, parades, and family-friendly events. Reports from The Guardian, BBC, and Independent describe the weekend’s activities, routes, and cultural significance, alongside commemorations for Grenfell victims.
