Grenfell Tower community considers future of building six years on
The tower is covered in a protective wrap showing a green heart and the message "forever in our hearts"
Possible options for the site, if the building is taken down, include a memorial garden, monument or museum. "When those decisions are made, we're going to need an enormous amount of pragmatism, an enormous amount of compassion and understanding among ourselves as a community because no individual is going to get exactly what they want on that site."Marcio Gomez, who lived on the 21st floor, says not enough has been done to prevent another tragedy
But if the latter happens, there has been a promise to ensure materials from the building are available to be used as part of any memorial. "The government is committed to supporting the independent Grenfell Tower Memorial Commission in the creation of a fitting and lasting memorial, determined by the community, to honour those who lost their lives in the tragedy."
