The Grenfell Tower Inquiry, paused (mid-March) due to the coronavirus crisis. It will not return until July (at the earliest), according to their website. The 14th June 2017 fire in the 24 story tower block in London caused 72 deaths, many injuries and affected so many more lives.
The government produced a Social Housing Green Paper in August 2018 to address some of the learning from the paper.

The actions will not yet been noticed by residents, but there has been some movement.
