Changing for the better – help us build a legacy from Grenfell

Published: Wednesday 10 August 2022

Kensington and Chelsea Council is embarking upon a wide-reaching consultation exercise asking our residents to share their views on how we can become the best Council for our communities in light of Grenfell.

Bereaved, survivors and local residents have challenged us to make sure that the lessons from Grenfell are never forgotten. They have told us they want us to use the learning from the tragedy to make Kensington and Chelsea the best Council for all residents, and one which is led by its communities.

We are committed to working with our communities to meet this challenge. We have already heard many ideas about this through the range of consultations that have taken place with bereaved, survivors and local residents and have started on that path of change.

However we know there is still more work to do rebuild trust and relationships with our communities and want to give everyone an opportunity to tell us how we can do that by building a shared vision for the future.

There will be lots of opportunities over the next few months for people to get involved. This is about how we change the whole Council for the better and ensure all our residents receive the best services so we are keen to hear from everyone, whether you are a local resident or were directly affected by Grenfell.

During this initial round of consultation, we will be holding focus groups and one-to-one discussions with those directly affected by Grenfell. We have also launched a survey that anyone can complete. Please visit https://linktr.ee/grenfelllegacy to give us your views

This is the first element of a wider conversation which the Council is having about its priorities over the next four years to shape the new Council Plan.
