Public Register
All notices served under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 by Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service will be recorded on our Public Register in accordance with the Environment and Safety Information Act 1988. The register is available for public inspection via our website and in addition will be available for inspection at reasonable hours, without charge, at our Service Headquarters at Barmston Mere, Washington.
Information relating to notices served will be available on the register within 14 days of expiry of the 21 day statutory appeal period. Where an appeal is made, a notice will not be recorded on the register until a decision on the appeal is final. In cases where the notice is overturned, no entry on the register will be made.
Any entries in the register which relate to a notice shall be kept in the register for a period of not less than three years from the date on which the notice was served.
