Report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services.

Members received a briefing note in respect of a recent fire at Fairweather House on the Holloway Estate.  Most of the damage had resulted from smoke and water to the flats below but was less than expected.  The insurance claims had been submitted and behaviours in respect of discarding cigarettes would be addressed. Members noted that this incident had evidenced the importance of compartmentation and were pleased that residents had followed the Fire Brigade’s advice to stay put. 

RESOLVED, that – the briefing be noted.
