Question
I am currently undertaking research into the annual costs incurred by councils, and therefore taxpayers, for statutory fire safety compliance checks across social housing stock. In particular, I am interested in the costs associated with Regulation 10 fire door checks and emergency lighting inspections. Please could you confirm the following: 1. Regulation 10 Fire Door Checks o The total annual cost to the council for providing Regulation 10 fire door inspection/check services across all social housing stock. o If the total annual cost is not available, please provide the cost per door per year. 2. Emergency Lighting Checks (Flick Tests) o The total annual cost to the council for carrying out regular emergency lighting flick tests in accordance with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 across all social housing stock. o If the total annual cost is not available, please provide the cost per block, per building, or per unit per year (whichever is most appropriate). If any of this information is held by an external contractor on behalf of the council, I would be grateful if it could still be provided.
Answer
NIL We have no housing stock
