The tragedy, which took place almost five years ago, claimed 72 lives.
Over 2,000 people have signed the Change.org petition pleading for the controversial drama to be scrapped. Cecilia Corzo created the online petition, and claims to be "one of these residents of Lancaster West Estate" who "have never been contacted by the BBC".
"We don’t want the BBC to make a drama about the Grenfell fire tragedy," the petition reads. "It has been less than 6 years since the fire that took 72 innocent lives and left hundreds more people displaced grieving without any justice." "In spite of all of this, the BBC has decided that they wish to recreate the brutal events for their own entertainment purposes, claiming under the guise that they will spread awareness with the permission of the residents and survivors.
The petition also suggests that a documentary about the tragedy would be more appropriate compared to a fictional drama based on the event.
