Hello, I'll cut a long story short here, hope I'm posting in the right place.
There is a pub in my home city that is a major fire hazard, there is only one exit and there are hundreds of people crammed in every night. There is a big open courtyard area in the centre, but it is covered over by a huge canopy. There are electrical heaters and lights with water running down through them, the wiring in the building is so bad that the lights flicker and people think it's last orders.
If a fire broke out, the canopy would go on fire and everyone would be trampled because there is only one, cave like entrance, there would be hundreds seriously injured or killed.
Anyway, last year I thought I'd do the right thing and rang the fire department, the county council and wrote a letter to the Gerry Ryan show about it. The county council won't take my complaint on board unless I give my name and address and I can't do that because that's a dangerous thing to do in this city. I have a friend in the fire brigade and he told me that I'm wasting my time because it may be possible that money is changing hands, I don't want to say any more.
After watching the programme about stardust the other night, I've gotten very annoyed about this again. It is a hazard, so what can I as a member of the public do? I feel very helpless.
