The barrier is a disaster waiting to happen, not only it is a make shift design, I'm pretty sure that it doesn't meet british standards for construction, lack to no consideration for emergency access and I'd love to see the risk assessments (including resident welfare) and safety working practices for the staff who erected it, not to mention the risk to residents if they were forced to remove to support emergency access with a view to preserve life.

A huge health and safety risk. A lot of parking enforcements signs put up saying we are not allowed to park in certain areas due to access being required for emergency vehicles, however I have seen a Police Van, Ambulance and Fire Engine unable to get into the car park because of the barrier!

This barrier is going to cost lives !! If an Ambulance couldn't get in a fire engine can't !! Why isn't it an electric barrier with a key code ? Which residents can give to the emergency services ?

Im worried in case my daughter gets ill and an ambulance is required. Also in case of fire the fire service need access. I can understand why it was erected maybe there is some other entrance with locks for emergency vehicles

What would happen if a fire broke out.. god forbid it should ever happen, the last thing the fire service need to be doing is getting an angle grinder out to cut the barrier down

It has become apparent over the past several weeks that the temporary barrier into the complex is not fit for purpose and on several occasions hindered emergency services getting on site. We are proposing that it's either removed or replaced with something more practical.

I’ve not actually used the barrier yet because I’ve just driven in when someone else comes out. Completely pointless. I believe this has been installed just to give security to their own cars,

An outrage
