The Director of Operations submitted a report (copies of which had been circulated) which updated Member Committee on various aspects of the building safety agenda.

The following comments were made/issues raised:

·         Members asked about the position when residents refused sprinklers.

·         In relation to information provided to the Fire Service, Members asked what efforts were made to ensure that disabled and vulnerable tenants were moved to a property where they can be evacuated.  In response, Member Committee was advised that this was monitored but often people wished to remain in their own home.  A stay safe, stay put policy was in operation.

RESOLVED – That the report be noted.
