Residents of flats in the building on Brayford Wharf North, Lincoln, can now return.
Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue have officially lifted the prohibition notice on One The Brayford, Brayford Wharf North, Lincoln, meaning residents can return to their flats following additional control measures from the responsible persons.
A prohibition notice was issued on the entirety of the residential area of the building following fire safety concerns in the building earlier this year, with residents advised to find alternative accommodation.
Now, the responsible persons for One The Brayford have met the minimum requirements as outlined by Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue’s prohibition notice, allowing the notice to be withdrawn and residents to return.
Dan Moss, head of prevention and protection at Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue, said: “Our teams have been in close collaboration with the responsible persons for the building over the last few months, ensuring that the proper control measures have been implemented and remaining safety works to address deficiencies are scheduled to take place.
“With these measures and reassurances in place, we have been able to issue a withdrawal letter lifting the prohibition notice, and have notified the residents’ association that flat owners can return to the property.
“I appreciate that this period has been disruptive for residents, but once we understood the extent of the fire risks at One The Brayford, action needed to be taken.
“I’d like to thank everyone for their patience while we worked behind the scenes with the responsible persons to reduce the risks associated with the building, and I’m glad that residents can now return home to normality.”
