Hello, I live in a 2 storey building with 9 shared ownership flats the landlord being Ealing Council. On the ground floor there is a space under the stairs which some of the owners/tenants use as a storage space for pushchairs and bicycles. we recently received a notice that we need to clear the space as it represents a fire hazard. As it stands, the stairs are built from concrete with metal railings, the fire escape route is clearly identified on the main corridor with two exit points from the building, there is no access from any flat going directly underneath the stairs so we are not obstructing anyone. Also, there are no sources of ignition which could cause a fire. Are we really breaking the regulations here? Thank you all for your contribution
