What to check in Broadstairs before ordering
In Broadstairs, as elsewhere in England, planning questions go to your local planning authority (the district, borough, city or unitary council).
- Fire shutters: Faults on fire shutters affect the building's fire safety; tell the person responsible for fire safety and arrange repair promptly.
- Safety first: Do not keep forcing a shutter that has jammed or dropped; a sprung or heavy curtain can move suddenly. Keep people clear and call us.
