I was curious about the Hyde Group and Audrey Williamson so I had a look at Trust Pilot.

Mm. Not just us, then,

[tonyav]

Ohhhhh, well done gness. Nasty piece of work isn't she and that Hyde housing.

[Spicerack]

They were alright when they were called Jekyll Housing, tony.

[Bazile]

gubmuh haB!

[Canary42]

Wow ! What an eye-opener gness.

From Trust Pilot: "They also want to charge a huge £360,000 management fee sort this work out too. Must be needed to pay for CEO Peter Denton's £287,000 base salary.". Hmmmm. I thought anyone could get a reasonable rating on TP...

I would love to hear from the fire authorities how a door wreath is going to start a fire.

Those were my thoughts too
Unless someone holds a naked flame underneath or it spontaneously combusts I am not sure how it is a fire hazard ?
Better take down the curtains too just in case !

Old sofas don't start fires - but charity shops refuse them because of they are very dangerous in a fire.

I assume these communal areas are the only exit in the event of a fire starting anywhere in the block. If that's the case it is common sense to make sure there is nothing there that could burn in the event of a fire starting anywhere in the building.

I can undersand how paper decorations might be a fire hazard, but wreaths pinned to a door. Ridiculous.

[Hopkirk]

I wonder if they allow door mats.

//I wonder if they allow door mats.//

After a fire safety inspection of our block (4 flats) a couple of years ago we were told that mats are not allowed in the communal area - my mat is now INSIDE my front door!

[barry1010]

Hopkirk, probably not - slip/trip hazard. Communal areas which are also fire escapes usually have to be kept clear

New national anthem:

*Land of Health and Safety*

nice one, Hopkirk.

Not that I have anything against either health or safety but I think the body count from wreaths must be quite low.

I think it's more to do with compensation claims than health and safety. Where there is blame there is a claim - and it could be cripplingly expensive
