Frankly if I were in a block with someone else wanting to remove fire exit signs I'd seriously consider suggesting they seek urgent medical help. As noted above, they are there for a bloody good reason & need to be easily visible in dim light, smoke, including to any visitors unfamiliar with the layout.
Hope .. better soon.
Or is this a wind up?? If so it is not in good taste...0 -
Because they are very large signs "Size 35cm width x 11.5cm depth". two signs for each floor, six in total. Yes I know their for a reason but not every day I'm going to see a fire just for a two floor building of a flat.
Thankyou for Hickman info but their have more floors than us. We have two little floors!!!!.0 -

For a start those aren't large signs.

What is wrong with a 35cm sign?0

There is no single "correct" size or number. There is a legal minimum size and number, but if the freeholder wants to have more or larger signs, they are within their rights to do so. They could wallpaper the entirety of every hallway with signs, if they so wished.0 -
It's not you(**) that matters (you know the way out.. obviously...) but some little old lady who happens to be visiting, not sure of the layout, doesn't move fast, eyesight not perfect.
Come on, be a decent citizen & support those less privileged that yourself! It'll make you feel so much better!!!
** Obviously you do matter, just as much as anyone else, but hopefully you are sufficiently familiar with the English language to get my drift..0
