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

The Committee received a report of the Remembrancer and Director of Community and Children’s Services which advised the Committee of the relevant provisions of the Fire Safety Act 2021.  Members noted that the Act amended the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and was one of several measures introduced following the 2017 Grenfell fire tragedy.

Members noted that the City Surveyor had accepted responsibility for ESW1 forms on public buildings but not for the City’s housing estates, nor the Barbican.  The Assistant Director would therefore be presenting a further report to the relevant committees on this matter.

RESOLVED, that – the report be noted.
