曾在2017年格伦费尔塔火灾前担任肯辛顿与切尔西皇家自治市住房主任的劳拉·约翰逊在8月被任命为巴尼特集团发展与物业总监，年薪157,078英镑1。该集团管理伦敦该区13,000套公共住房1。约翰逊的任命在格伦费尔塔火灾死难者家属和幸存者的强烈反对下迅速成为争议焦点，后者称此举"荒谬且不尊重"1。在舆论压力下，巴尼特集团宣布约翰逊已不再为该集团工作1。
约翰逊之所以引发抗议，源于其在2017年造成72人丧生的格伦费尔塔火灾前的角色1。调查指出她推动使用较低预算承包商进行塔楼翻新，最终导致可燃塑料板材替代了金属包层1。伦敦警察厅已要求检控机构考虑对54个人、20家公司和组织提起包括过失杀人和欺诈罪在内的指控1。皇家检控署表示将在2027年6月14日做出控罪决定1。
Laura Johnson, who served as housing director for Kensington and Chelsea Royal Borough before the 2017 Grenfell Tower fire that claimed 72 lives, was appointed in August as director of development and property for Barnet Group with an annual salary of £157,078.1 Following strong opposition from families of those killed and survivors in the disaster, Barnet Group announced that Johnson was no longer employed by the organization.1
Johnson had been criticized in subsequent investigations for pushing cost-cutting measures during the tower's renovation, including the decision to use flammable plastic cladding in place of metal panels.1 Bereaved families and survivors described the appointment as "absurd and disrespectful."1 Barnet Group manages approximately 13,000 units of public housing in the area.1
The Metropolitan Police has requested that prosecutors consider charges against 54 individuals, 20 companies, and organizations, including manslaughter and fraud offenses.1 The Crown Prosecution Service indicated it will make charging decisions by June 14, 2027, ahead of the disaster's tenth anniversary.1
