  • Meeting date: 13 September 2018
During the recent heatwave, one of the numerous grass fires that the London Fire Brigade dealt with took place at Woolwich Common on 23 July 2018. Prior to this, Greenwich Council had been warned that a large amount of fly-tipped waste on the common posed a fire risk. With heatwaves expected to become more common and severe, what steps are you taking to ensure that site owners have carried out risks assessment and are taking preventative action, such as prompt removal of fly-tipped waste that could start, or exacerbate the severity of a grass fire?
