SIR - Two years on, from the tragic Grenfell Tower fire, where 72 people perished, we are still waiting for lessons to be learned and all our communities safeguarded. The Fire Brigades Union (FBU) are calling on the Government to be responsible for five actions:
* Remove remaining inflammable cladding from 2000 tower blocks and public buildings.
* Retrofit sprinklers in high rises and schools.
* Ensure tenants get a real voice in the running and upkeep of their buildings.
* Reverse cuts to firefighter numbers and fire safety officers.
* Create a new independent body to oversee standards in fire service across the UK.
