I am currently undertaking an environmental assessment for a site at CCF, Beddington Farm Road, Croydon, Surrey, CR0 4XB (site plan attached). During the site inspection, the building on the south western side of the site had some fire damage. This was a result of a fire that broke out in c.December 2024, coming from the adjacent site previous called 'Deadcerts Recovery'. Please could you provide any records you may have on this fire, including potential foams used on site?

Last August, the LFB attended our address following a similar incident, when a number of smoke alarms in flats (but not neighbouring properties) around Claremont Square/Amwell Street were going off at the same time. Your crew came into our flat to investigate, as our alarm was also sounding despite there being no obvious fire or smoke. We are now experiencing what appears to be the same issue again. Our smoke alarm is activating randomly, without any apparent trigger. What is particularly concerning is that we have again noticed alarms going off in flats in other, separate buildings around Claremont Square at approximately the same time. None of the other alarms within our own building appear to be activating. Given that this has happened before and that your team attended our property last August, I would be grateful if you could check whether there have been similar incidents or false-alarm callouts in the Claremont Square/Angel area, and whether there could be a common external cause. Please could you advise whether this is something you can investigate further?

1. Any current policy, procedure, guidance, operational note, risk assessment template, or standard process used when crews or officers identify that a road, street, estate, industrial site, or similar location may be difficult or impossible to access because of parked/stored vehicles or vehicle-related obstruction. 2. Any process for reporting such access concerns to another body, including the police, highways authority, local authority enforcement, parking enforcement, environmental health, planning, licensing, or landowner. 3. Whether your service has, in the last three calendar years, referred any such access obstruction concern to the police or a highways/local authority team. If held, please provide the number of referrals by calendar year. I do not require personal data or exact addresses; broad categories or anonymised examples are sufficient. 4. Whether your service uses or refers to the Highway Code, including Rule 243, when considering or explaining emergency access obstruction by parked vehicles. If held, please provide any recorded guidance, email template, briefing note, or standard wording that mentions this. 5. Any recorded examples, with personal data and precise addresses redacted if necessary, of how your service has advised residents, businesses, councils, police, or highways teams about maintaining access for fire appliances or BRVs where vehicle parking/storage was the concern. If answering all parts would exceed the cost limit, please prioritise questions 1, 2 and 4, and provide advice and assistance on how the remaining parts could be refined. I would prefer the response by email. Please redact personal data where required; I am seeking policy/process information rather than information about identifiable individuals.

I would like to know what the service's policy is on listing stations when publishing an incident on the incident page. 1. Specifically, I'd like to know what concerns the service had identified, what the reasoning and/or views the service had when deciding that information would be something they would include for incidents. 2. What was for publishing them? 3. What was against publishing them? I ask this information because I am interested in why some brigades list stations and others don't and the reasons behind this.

I would like to request a tally of the total number of individuals on which you hold any records currently recorded as residing at the following address: 27 Uxbridge Road (Hayes). Please kindly comprehensively search your systems for data about individuals in any form along the following lines. Please then, if you have not already done so in the first step, search your systems for Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans (ie: PEEPs), or any other records held in connection therewith, as defined under the recently introduced fire safety legislation. Please provide specific figures of: • Those who have further specified room or unit numbers within that address. (Eg: Room 208, Unit 303, Studio 1119, #509, or similar) • Those who have not specified any room/unit numbers within the building but only given the building’s own street address in whatever form or other as their address. • Those who have specified unit numbers that end in any of: ‘02’, ‘15’, or ‘16’, but which do not begin with the digit '0'. (IE: 102, 202, 302, 402, 502, 602, 702, 802, 902, 1002, 1102, 1202, 1302, 115, 215, 315, 415, 515, 615, 715, 815, 915, 1015, 1115, 1215, 1315, 116, 216, 316, 416, 516, 616, 716, 816, 916, 1016, 1116, 1216, or 1316.) For each of the above three bullet points, please provide the figures that were presently accurate on each of the following dates: * 15 Nov 2024 * 03 Apr 2025 * 03 Oct 2025 and, at the end of each of the following months: * Dec 2024 * Feb 2025 * May 2025 * Jul 2025 * Sep 2025 * Dec 2025 * May 2026 Please note that there are some confusions and discrepancies whereby sometimes the postcode of this building is indicated as UB4 0UG and sometimes it is indicated as UB4 0JN. The name of the property is sometimes variously called ‘&Soul’ or ‘And Soul’ or ‘Andsoul’ or ‘And – soul’ or possibly some other variation of this, and this may conceivably be substituted for the street number, or perhaps combined with it. I am not seeking any personal data, names, or medical information. Furthermore, I am only seeking an aggregate tally of individuals who are registered in your records with some permutation or variation of that address. In case any particular figure is less than 5 and so felt to be at risk of personally identifying any person, then please simply provide the figure rounded to a range as ‘>0<6’. In case it is more than 5, yet less than 11, then please simply give it as bounded range of >5<11, in case this is felt necessary to avoid disclosing individuals' personal information. In case the figure is 11 or more, then please certainly just give the precise figure. Finally, in general, please provide any general (ie, non-person-specific) data held by your organisation in relation to the aforementioned address. (27 Uxbridge Road, UB4 0UG and/or UB4 0JN)
