  1. Dear Information Access Team, I write on behalf of the residents of Oliver Mews, SE15 5AZ, as one of the Directors of the mutually-owned management company. May we please request that you provide the following recorded information held by the London Fire Brigade (LFB) in relation to Peckham Liberal Club, 24 Elm Grove, London SE15 5DE, noting particularly the Fire Safety Audit conducted on 11 December 2025 and the Notice of Deficiencies issued on 26 January 2026. 1. The Audit and Notice of Deficiencies: A complete copy of the Audit report and Notice, all accompanying schedules or annexes, photographs, inspection notes and other documents recording the findings. 2. Means of escape and external exits: All recorded information concerning the club's fire exits and escape routes, particularly the rear exits which discharge onto adjoining privately owned land. This should include any assessment of whether those exits provide a suitable, sufficient and continuously available means of escape to a place of safety. 3. Relevant findings and remedial action: All recorded information identifying deficiencies relating to emergency exits, escape routes, external access, gates, obstructions or the availability of land beyond the premises. Please include any remedial measures recommended or required, any deadlines specified and any records of action taken by the club in response. 4. Follow-up and enforcement: All subsequent inspection reports, revisit records, correspondence, photographs and other documents concerning the deficiencies identified in the audit. Please also provide copies of any formal enforcement notices, enforcement correspondence or other regulatory action taken in connection with those findings, together with any records of subsequent compliance or outstanding deficiencies. 5. The adjoining land and access arrangements: All recorded information considered or obtained by LFB concerning the club's right or permission to use the adjoining land as part of its emergency escape arrangements, including information supplied by the club, the landowner, Southwark Council or any other person. 6. Fire risk assessment and evacuation arrangements: Any fire risk assessment, evacuation plan, fire strategy or other document held by LFB, or submitted to it, which identifies or relies upon the rear exits or the external routes beyond them. Please include any recorded assessment of the consequences of those routes being unavailable or access being prevented. 7. Related communications: All relevant correspondence, emails, inspection notes and reports exchanged between LFB, Peckham Liberal Club, Southwark Council and any other relevant party concerning the audit, the Notice of Deficiencies, the rear exits or the availability of the adjoining land. For the purposes of locating these records, please search relevant fire-safety audit, inspection, regulatory and enforcement files, including any associated electronic records. I am seeking existing recorded information and documents, rather than asking LFB to undertake a new investigation or provide a legal opinion. If any information is withheld, please identify the applicable statutory exemption or exception and disclose any reasonably separable material that can be released. If the volume of information requested would exceed the appropriate cost limit, please advise which elements could be supplied within that limit.

  2. We are seeking a clear record of the public-authority processes surrounding St Paul's Cathedral's contemporary-music partnership with fabric through 2030, including the announced opening performance by The Cinematic Orchestra on 29 October 2026. The Cathedral's announcement is here: https://www.stpauls.co.uk/press-release/st-pauls-cathedral-and-fabric-announce-four-year-contemporary-music-partnership Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, I would be grateful for the following recorded information held by the London Fire Commissioner / London Fire Brigade, created or received between 1 January and 15 September 2026 and specifically concerning that partnership or opening performance: 1. Fire-safety consultation requests or referrals received from the Cathedral, the promoter or the City of London Corporation, and the Brigade's resulting written advice, recommendations or consultation responses. This includes any recorded conclusions about audience capacity, temporary staging or seating insofar as they concern fire safety. 2. Any event-specific fire-safety inspection or audit conclusion and any formal notice issued in connection with these proposals, including the recorded status of resulting actions. A conclusion or action-summary extract is sufficient; the full premises inspection history is not requested. Please limit the search to the partnership and its proposed concerts. I am not seeking detailed floor plans, escape-route layouts, security arrangements, emergency deployment plans, personal contact details or unrelated Cathedral records. Where only part of a document can be supplied, the non-sensitive conclusion, date and recorded action status would be welcome. Duplicate copies are unnecessary. This request does not assume that the Brigade has been consulted, that it must approve the events or that a fire-safety breach has occurred. Please provide existing records rather than a new assessment. If no information is held for either item, please confirm that separately. Electronic copies in their existing format are welcome; direct links will suffice for published records. Please identify the basis for any withholding and provide disclosable portions. Please apply the Environmental Information Regulations 2004 where appropriate. If clarification or narrowing is needed, please advise; item 1 is the priority. Thank you for your time and assistance.
