Fit magnetic automatic door closure fittings to fire doors in all schools.
Currently fire doors have to be closed, meaning classrooms that have them are not adequately ventilated. This is essential during COVID as we know ventilation helps prevent the spread of the virus indoors. Consequently staff, students and families are being out at greater risk of COVID.
Many buildings are due to have automatic Fire-door closing devices fitted as part of legislation in the next few years. I would like the government to direct councils and PFI management companies to fit the fixings immediately in order to protect people during this pandemic, and hopefully avoid another lockdown.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Decisions about fitting of self-closing fire doors is a matter for individual schools, not the Government or House of Commons.
We could accept a petition calling on the Government to provide funding to expedite the rollout of self-closing doors, if that's something you want to happen.
