Grenfell taskforce announced

The independent Grenfell Recovery Taskforce, which will help Kensington and Chelsea Council develop and implement a long-term recovery plan following the Grenfell Tower fire, has been announced by the Department for Communities and Local Government.

The taskforce members will be:

  • Chris Wood, partner at Altair housing consultancy and former director of housing for three London boroughs
  • Aftab Chughtai, chair of the West Midlands Police Independent Advisory Group
  • Javed Khan, chief executive of Barnardo’s
  • Jane Scott, Conservative leader of Wiltshire Council

The taskforce has been asked to look at whether Kensington and Chelsea Council has the proper arrangements in place to engage with the local community on long-term recovery plans and ensure all immediate housing needs are addressed.

It will also support the council in improving housing management.
