(BBC) Some Manchester Arena bombing victims’ families have said it was “absolutely heartbreaking” that changes to make venues safer had still not been made.
They spoke after a three-day hearing assessing levels of progress made on recommendations by the public inquiry into the 2017 blast in which 22 died.
Inquiry chairman Sir John Saunders said some organisations had been “somewhat slow” on actioning his recommendations.
Families of five victims said hearing the government’s “excuses” was “awful.”
A lawyer representing the families of victims Kelly Brewster, Megan Hurley, Eilidh MacLeod, Chloe Rutherford and Liam Curry read a statement on Wednesday afternoon outside Manchester Hall.
