Stoke Fire Safety Breaches
This bar in Stoke could be denied a licence for a series of fire safety breaches.
Reading through the article they are all things that a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment would have identified and the responsible person should have completed or he competing.
You are not helping anybody least of all yourself when you turn a blind eye to fire safety and just hope things will be ok.
Let’s hope the recommendations get competed and the bar can open ready for the end of lockdown!

Metro London Residents
Fascinating article in the Metro about residents who feel physically, emotionally and financially trapped living in flats with dangerous cladding during the lockdown.
One resident has had a nervous breakdown and others are fearful for their lives at a time when they can barely leave their flats during the lockdown period.
They bought the flats in good faith and have now been told they are currently worthless. It’s like having the outside of the building covered in Petrol they were once told.
They have a walking watch in place costing them a fortune and have already invested in a new fire alarm system.
They can see money is available because of how the Government have come up with it during lockdown but have not had a single cladding panel removed.
They deserve better.
