Can I keep my belongings in the Communal Areas?
There is no storage of any items within the communal areas and in riser cupboards permitted. This includes items such as prams, plants, shoe racks, and any other personal belongings.
The communal areas must remain clear to ensure safe access and egress for residents at all times. By storing items in the communal areas could restrict escape from the building in the event of an emergency. It also adds to the fire loading risk to the building.
