Grenfell Tower Council made £129m from Property Deals
An investigation has found the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (RBKC) made £129m selling property in the years leading up to the fire.
It spent £10m on Grenfell’s repair and fitted cheaper cladding than planned.
Documents seen by the BBC show the zinc cladding originally proposed was replaced with an aluminium type, which was less fire resistant, saving RBKC nearly £300,000.
