The Government states that fire wardens would need to be employed 24/7 at huge costs to tenants and leaseholders for PEEPs to be able to be put in place, so that a ‘competent’ person is always on hand. This is contradictory when there are 4 million unpaid carers in the UK who don’t have a ‘competency’ test. The National Fire Chiefs Council in their draft guidance mention the use of ‘buddies,’ known by the disabled person, such as friends, neighbours, which surely, where possible is a more practical and creative way of implementing PEEPs? What are your thoughts on this...

We know that 83% of consultation respondents to the Government’s Personal Emergency Evacuation Plan (PEEPs) Consultation were supportive of PEEPs, yet Government seemingly ignored this view and has decided that mandating PEEPs is not proportionate, practical, or safe. In the absence of a Government commitment on this will you ensure all disabled Londoners, in spite of building height, have PEEPs in place?
