On the NV Building in Salford Quays, an area of Greater Manchester in northwest England, large block lettering projected the message:

“2 years after Grenfell this building is still covered in dangerous cladding.”

The Grenfell fire was ignited when a refrigerator on the fourth floor burst into flames, officials said. Low-cost flammable cladding installed on the outside of Grenfell Tower helped the fire race up the side of the building at an unimaginable speed.

Grenfell residents had spent years complaining about shortcomings in fire safety within the block: The building had only a single staircase and lacked fire alarms, sprinklers and a fire escape.

“It’s been two years since Grenfell, and people are still going to bed at night worried that a fire like Grenfell could happen to them,” Natasha Elcock, chairwoman of the Grenfell United group and a survivor from the tower, said in a statement.

“After the fire, we were promised that blocks would be made safe,” she said. “Two years later, we cannot wait any longer, we need action now so everyone is safe in their homes.”
