  8. summary of the call outs to this building in the last 20/30 years

    Good afternoon, I reported a fire today (20/05/25) on Mays Lane in Barnet in the derelict building adjacent to Quinta Village Green (opposite 294 Mays Lane EN5 2AP). This building has been set fire to a number of times since it has been derelict. I have approached the Council about this building and would be very grateful if the local (Barnet) fire brigade could provide me with a summary of the call outs to this building in the last 20/30 years – would this be possible please? I would also be very grateful for any information you are able to provide that would help lobby the council to demolish the building, as I do not believe that it is in a fit condition to be repaired. Many thanks for your consideration of my request. I look forward to hearing back from you at your earliest convenience. Kind regards XXXXX XXXXXXXX, Added 23/5/25 I would like to add to my information request if possible. Could I please also receive any officer reports (redacted of course) following fires that LFB have dealt with at the site, with information including but not limited to the structural integrity of the building and damage caused.
