I am writing as CEO of the Trust responsible for The Pines Primary School, Red Lodge. Having reviewed the documentation relating to the development, and further materials relating to this technology, we as an organisation are of the opinion that the proposal, as it stands, constitutes an unacceptable risk to the health and safety of the children and staff at the school. In particular, while fire prevention and control measures are stated at length, there would still appear to be substantial concerns about the difficulty of extinguishing such fires and the risk of serious airborne contamination leading to the emergency and rapid evacuation of, when complete, a large primary school only 1.5 miles away. Until these issues can be addressed to our satisfaction, including the outcomes of an independent investigation into the fire that started in similar technology in Liverpool, we object to this proposal.
