CA1

Look into closure time of automated doors and explore whether a manual closure mechanism could be fitted to allow immediate closure if required for security

Geof Gage

The question for this was discussed around the possibility of adding a further push button for immediate closing of the door when in the building. We have investigated and this would not be possible to install. The doors are timed to close to meet H&S requirements and an additional push button would not meet the standards.

CA5

Look into why Theresa Mackey received a letter from the Fire and Rescue Service stating she was responsible for undertaking inspections and checks of Highcroft Lodge

Geof Gage

We have raised this with East Sussex Fire & Rescue colleagues, it would appear that this was sent in error and was a mistake on their part. We have asked that ESF&R check that this is isolated and has not been sent to other residents elsewhere in the City.

CA8

Speak with team to consolidate plan to remedy escalating anti-social behaviour in Essex Place

Martin Reid

We ask that all incidents of ASB are reported to our Housing Customer Services Team on 01273 293030. It is really important this happens, as it helps to inform our requests to the security team and whether we need to request additional sweeps.

 

We have asked our security company to carry out more thorough sweeps of the building. This includes checking the ground floor, the laundry room and the stairwells. Whenever we get an increase in reports of ASB, one of the things we do is look at our security sweep arrangements to determine if additional measures are needed.
