  • Personal Escape Plans for Disabled Londoners in Buildings Under 18m (1)

    • Reference: 2021/2709
    • Question by: Hina Bokhari
    • Meeting date: 15 July 2021
    A key recommendation in part one of the Grenfell Tower Fire Report in 2019 was that individual emergency evacuation plans should be a legal requirement for all disabled individuals in high-rise blocks. Yet despite this recommendation Government has ruled out personal evacuation plans for disabled individuals in blocks less than seven storeys (or under 18m). What are you doing to highlight this issue with Government and ensure all disabled Londoners can be as safe as possible in their homes?

  • Personal Escape Plans for Disabled Londoners in Buildings Under 18m (2)

    • Reference: 2021/2710
    • Question by: Hina Bokhari
    • Meeting date: 15 July 2021
    Not only are disabled Londoners in blocks less than seven storey (or under 18m) being refused a mandatory personal escape plan by Government, but many disabled Londoners and their neighbours are also being told they could have to pay for personal evacuation plans through service charges. Do you agree with this approach and what are you doing to ensure that personal evacuation plans are not added to service charges?
