The Assistant Director – Housing presented a report that provided an update on the actions undertaken in the last year in respect of delivering the Housing Fire Management Policy.

The current policy was approved by Cabinet on 3 October, 2017, following revisions due to the fire at Grenfell Tower. The policy brought together all the fire safety related information into one document including:

·        documented fire risk assessments, reviews and amendments;

·        fire precautions records;

·        details of fire safety training and fire drills;

·        fire history records.

The policy would ensure that the council complies with current fire safety legislation and would be reviewed on an annual basis.
