    Dear London Fire Brigade FOI Team, I recently submitted a Freedom of Information request but realised it may have been incorrectly worded. I would therefore like to clarify my request. I am requesting: - The number of fires attended by the London Fire Brigade involving e-scooters (both rental and privately owned) between 1 January 2022 and 1 August 2025. - The number of fires attended by the LFB involving e-bikes during the same period. - Any internal reports, briefing notes, or risk assessments prepared by the LFB concerning the safety of e-scooters or e-bikes (particularly relating to lithium-ion battery fires) since January 2022. - Any correspondence between the LFB and Transport for London (TfL), the Department for Transport (DfT), or e-scooter rental companies (Tier, Lime, Voi, Dott) relating to e-scooter or e-bike safety, since January 2022.

  5. Request for any advice/guidance/reports provided by LFB for Omega 4 Building

    Building with cladding issues - it is wooden clad and the cladding has not yet been remediated. I know that there have been multiple visits over recent years by LFB and reports written on the building, but our freeholder is not passing the accurate information on to residents. Please can you provide any reports or other useful information you have regarding fire safety in Omega Works in London E3 - particularly Omega 4. This should include the recent report: Ref number for Building - 054/014898 Job Number - 2532289 Report Written. The building I am referring to is Omega 4, Omega Works, Bow, E3 2PF Please note there are 3 buildings on this site – Crown Wharf, Omega 3 and Omega 4. I am only requesting information for Omega 4. Additionally, the building is sometimes listed with other E3 postcodes, but building should be E3 2PF.

  6. The report Job Number - 2532289 / Ref for Building - 054/014898

    The management company claims you are demanding that we get a walking watch. We already have a walking watch for cladding, and seems the management company are attempting to push this cost to the leaseholders rather than the freeholders as it should legally be. We have also been told by the management that you request all items to be removed from private balconies that are inaccessible to anyone else except the tenant / owner. Please can I see a copy of this report in full so we can know what is the truth and if the management company is lying yet again (lost count how many times now). This is in regard to the inspection at Block 4 Omega Works, 4 Roach Road, London, E3 2PF
