You can help us to improve Safety in High Rise and Low Rise Blocks

Cardiff Council is committed to the safety of all residents. We work tirelessly to ensure that the emergency escape routes, and communal areas are kept clear of all obstructions and flammable items in the city’s high rise and low rise properties. We need to ensure that in the unlikely event of an emergency that residents can leave the building if required, and that emergency services can
enter the building safely.

In order to assist in this work, Cardiff Council have continued to inform residents that it is not appropriate in the interest of safety that personal items are left in the communal areas. Item should be stored either in your flat, shed, garage, or parking area.

Bicycles, mopeds, scooters, pushchairs, door mats, clothes, plants, amongst other items being left or stored in communal areas cause obstruction and Cardiff Council have no option but to start removing items if residents continue to leave these inside communal areas.

Cardiff Council understands that it may be seen as an inconvenience, but the safety of residents, visitors , and emergency services must be a priority to everyone.

We are asking you to help us in keeping you as safe as possible by keeping all communal areas clear of personal items at all times.

If you value it, don’t leave it out.
