Mr Atkinson went on to say he wants a full public inquiry into the tragedy.
He said: "We are urged not to leap to conclusions but the simple sight of the way that the block went up as an inferno, it's pretty easy to work out there was a problem with the cladding."
The Labour councillor said he did not want local residents and other people living in a similar tower blocks to wait years for answers.
