I am writing to submit a formal request for information under the Environmental Information Regulations 2004 (EIR) and, alternatively, the Freedom of Information Act 2000. I am a residential leaseholder living directly adjacent to the ground-floor commercial premises at the property address detailed below. 71 - 73 Fernhead Road, London W9 3EY I am aware that the London Fire Brigade’s Fire Safety Regulation / Enforcement team has recently inspected the commercial restaurant at this location and issued a Deficiency Notice, a Letter of Fire Safety Matters, or an informal action plan regarding severely compromised fire compartmentation and other fire risks pertaining to this premises. Please provide copies of the following information held by the London Fire Brigade regarding these premises: 1. Copies of all Deficiency Notices, Letters of Fire Safety Matters, Action Plans, or informal safety warnings issued to the restaurant operator, business owner, or the freehold landlord within the last 12 months regarding structural fire separation or escape routes. 2. Any Fire Risk Assessment audits, inspection reports, or formal notes recorded by LFB officers during inspections of this building over the last year. 3. Any logged timelines or correspondence outlining the specific remediation deadlines imposed on the restaurant or freeholder to fix the compartmentation or other fire risk defects. Public Interest & Safety Disclosure: Because this matter involves a commercial kitchen operating directly beneath and adjacent to residential flats with compromised structural fire barriers, it poses an immediate risk to life. The public interest heavily favours disclosure under EIR Regulation 12(5)(a) (public safety) to protect the occupants.

Good afternoon. Please can you provide information on LFB employees who become officials for the Fire Brigades Union at levels such as regional secretary, where they are effectively seconded to the FBU. Specifically can you please clarify: What arrangements are made for salary payments/recovery? Is the individual expected to maintain competence for their operational role? Is the individual expected to maintain fitness requirements for their operational role? Is the individual expected to maintain Brigade standards for facial hair etc. if the individual serves as an FBU official for a number of successive terms by re election, for a number of years, would that individual be expected to complete a recruit training course or would they be required to only complete back to operations revalidation. In the event that you refuse to disclose this information, please do gather it and retain it as it will be requested to a tribunal to be disclosed by court order.

Request for recorded information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and the Environmental Information Regulations 2004 I am a resident and leaseholder at Flat XX, Bridge House, 6 Waterworks Yard, Croydon CR0 1UL. I understand from the Brigade's published guidance that individual fire reports are treated as a chargeable service and are exempt under section 21 of the Freedom of Information Act, and that incident records are published as open data on the London Datastore. I have obtained and analysed the published incident data and I am not asking for it here. This request is confined to material that is not covered by either. My first request is a single narrow question. The published data redacts the full postcode for residential incidents, so dwellings can only be located to a 50 metre grid square, and the squares covering Bridge House contain other buildings. I cannot therefore tell from the open data which incidents relate to my building. 1. Please confirm which, if any, of the following incident numbers relate to Bridge House, 6 Waterworks Yard, Croydon CR0 1UL. A simple yes or no against each would be sufficient and I do not need any further detail about the incidents themselves. 1. 054691-04052019, 4 May 2019, 23:25 2. 055295-06052019, 6 May 2019, 08:21 3. 055679-07052019, 7 May 2019, 01:46 4. 064322-24052019, 24 May 2019, 00:08 5. 065824-26052019, 26 May 2019, 19:57 6. 069431-02062019, 2 June 2019, 20:26 7. 069455-02062019, 2 June 2019, 21:09 8. 069483-02062019, 2 June 2019, 22:19 9. 069636-03062019, 3 June 2019, 07:36 10. 069643-03062019, 3 June 2019, 08:10 11. 069651-03062019, 3 June 2019, 08:59 12. 056948-04042025, 4 April 2025, 22:30 13. 058394-06042025, 6 April 2025, 19:24 14. 109306-20062025, 20 June 2025, 04:54 15. 232562-12122025, 12 December 2025, 22:14 16. 035465-25022026, 25 February 2026, 23:01 17. 039817-05032026, 5 March 2026, 03:31 18. 040536-06032026, 6 March 2026, 08:10 19. 041226-07032026, 7 March 2026, 09:30 20. 064375-11042026, 11 April 2026, 07:15 A numbered reply against each, for example "1. no, 2. yes", would be entirely sufficient. I also request the following recorded information: 2. Any record of the joint inspection of Bridge House carried out on 16 May 2019 by the London Fire Brigade together with the London Borough of Croydon's Environmental Health and Antisocial Behaviour teams. That inspection is referred to in an email from the, Senior Environmental Health Officer at the London Borough of Croydon, dated 21 May 2019, which states: "I arranged for a joint inspection on 16 May 2019 of the above block with the London Fire Brigade, Croydon's Antisocial Behaviour Team and myself (Environmental Health)." 3. Any record of an audit or inspection of Bridge House carried out by the Brigade under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and any enforcement notice, prohibition notice, alterations notice or deficiency notice issued in respect of the building. 4. Any correspondence between the London Fire Brigade and the London Borough of Croydon, Radcliffe Investment Properties Limited, Inspired Property Management Limited, HML or Moat Homes Limited concerning fire safety at Bridge House since 1 January 2019. 5. Any record of the Brigade having required, requested or recommended interim measures at Bridge House, including any waking watch or increased security presence. I ask because the managing agent stated in writing to leaseholders in 2021 that security staff were on site "to help appease the fire brigade", and separately that "the fire brigade would ideally prefer to see a system of alarms wired into the flats". 6. Any record held by the Brigade of the fire evacuation strategy for Bridge House, and of any change from a stay put strategy to simultaneous evacuation. If the Brigade holds a report for the basement fire of 6 May 2019 and that report is available as a chargeable service rather than under the Act, please tell me the cost and how to order it, and treat that part as a request for that information rather than for the report itself. I understand that some of this may constitute environmental information within regulation 2(1) of the 2004 Regulations, and I am content for the Brigade to handle it under whichever regime it considers correct. I do not seek the personal data of any individual involved in any incident, and I am content for names and any identifying details of residents or casualties to be redacted. If any part is refused, please state the exemption or exception relied on and confirm the internal review procedure.
