Management of the Grenfell Tower site
On 15 July 2019, government took ownership of the Grenfell Tower site, until its long-term future is determined by the community. The government legally now has freehold ownership of the site.
This means that the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (RBKC) will take no role in decisions about the management of the site. The government will make operational decisions, including on the security and safety of the site. The land is now ‘Crown land’ which is another name for land owned by government.
A legal restriction has been put in place so that the land cannot be used for any future purpose other than that determined by the community in accordance with the process agreed in the Principles.
Government will ensure that bereaved families, survivors and the community are kept regularly updated on management of the site and engaged on any operational decisions.
Details on safety works on the Grenfell Tower site can be found here.
Details on the soil and environmental checks around the Grenfell site can be found here.
You can contact the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) team responsible for managing the site by:
- Email GrenfellTowerSite@levellingup.gov.uk
- Phone 0303 444 0011
We will be very happy to provide more information and answer any questions.

Grenfell Tower Memorial Commission
In 2017, the former Prime Minister, Theresa May, gave her personal commitment that the community would be at the heart of deciding what happens to the Grenfell Tower site in the longer term.
The independent Grenfell Tower Memorial Commission, made up of 10 representatives of the bereaved families, survivors and local residents, has been leading conversations with the community to decide on the most fitting and appropriate way to remember those who lost their lives in the Grenfell tragedy.
The Commission has now published its second report, Remembering Grenfell: Recommendations and next steps to a memorial , which outlines the community’s vision for a memorial.
The government welcomes the report and will continue to work closely with the Commission to agree the next steps to progress the recommendations.
