I am writing to request information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. I would be grateful if you could provide data relating to the fire safety compliance of residential properties under your authority’s supervision, particularly in relation to fire doors. Specifically, I am seeking information on compliance with regulations and guidance introduced following the Grenfell Tower fire and subsequent government reviews.

1. As of the date of this request, how many individual residential units (flats, maisonettes, etc.) are owned or managed by the council? Of these, how many are located in buildings over 11 metres in height (or 5+ storeys)?

2. How many flat entrance doors are currently installed across your housing stock? How many of these are currently certified to at least FD30 standard (30 minutes fire resistance)?

3. How many communal fire doors (e.g. in corridors, stairwells, lobbies) exist across your housing properties? How many of these are currently certified to at least FD30 standard (30 minutes fire resistance)?

4. Since the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 came into force on 23 January 2023, how many:
a) Flat entrance doors have been inspected?
b) Communal fire doors have been inspected?
c) How many doors were found to be non-compliant (e.g. missing self-closers, damage, inadequate certification)?
d) Of those non-compliant doors, how many have since been replaced or repaired? Identified as still needing replacement to meet current standards?

5. Do you have a forward programme or procurement plan for fire door replacements in the next 1–3 years? If so:
a) How many doors are scheduled for replacement?
b) What is the estimated timeline or completion target?

If precise figures are not available, please provide your best current estimates, indicating where data is incomplete or sampled. If any of the requested information is not held, or only partially available, please indicate as such.
