Fire report on Bangladesh Islamic Centre, 30 Winchester Street, Pimlico SW1V 4NE

Westminster City Council did not have the information requested.

Penelope Forbes

Dear Westminster City Council,
We at Pimlico Grid Residents' Association would like to see the most recent Fire Report on the basement mosque at 30 Winchester Street, SW1V 4NE. A recent evening inspection revealed over 190 people in this one-exit basement space.
In light of recent events, we have no confidence that, should a fire occur, people would be able to escape. This is a disaster waiting to happen, and we would like a swift reply. There is considerable local concern and it is unbelievable that the Council can turn a blind eye to this situation.

Yours faithfully,
Penelope Forbes
