Environment and Safety Information Act 1988
This act requires local authorities to maintain a register of
information concerning the issue of prohibition, restriction and
enforcement notices, which must be open to inspection by the public
free of charge.
Each entry must state sufficient particulars to convey the
substance of the notice to which it relates.
Persons on whom notices are served have a right of appeal
against an entry which they think may reveal an industrial secret.
They are sent a draft copy of an entry and have 14 days in which to
lodge an appeal.
The Fire and Rescue Service will maintain the register, which
will contain information relating to any prohibition, restriction
or enforcement notices issued by them.
Notices will be held in the register for a minimum period of three
years.
The Fire Safety (Technical) department will ensure that information
held is current.
