Trials could be delayed as court cuts bite | More lives may be ruined, says resident

A VICTIM of the Grenfell Tower disaster has warned more lives could be destroyed after warnings those responsible may not face justice before 2030.

The inquiry into the 2017 fire, which claimed 72 lives, blamed "decades of failure" by those in power and "systematic dishonesty" from building firms for the tragedy.

Police are under pressure to speed up the criminal probe.

But former director of public prosecutions Lord Macdonald warned that criminal trials may not start before 2029, with verdicts only being returned the following year.
