Saffron Pensioners Victory

Cllr Dale Keeling with Mrs Baum & Mrs Harrison who led the campaign for the extra door.
Pensioners on the Saffron Estate have won their campaign to get the City Council to install a back exit to their bungalows.
133 bungalows that were built on the foundations of the old boot houses were built without a back door - making it difficult for a disabled tenant to escape if a fire started in the front of the property.
The main room windows are now likely to be replaced with a french door.
Cllr Dale Keeling who supported the campaign and presented a petition signed by over 100 residents said, "Its been a long campaign by many residents that have kept this issue alive", he added, "The new doors Will give pensioners and disabled tenants more of a chance to escape in-case of fire."
