Hi,
I am hoping someone might be able to help with this.
Our site has a communal pool with a small adjoining "children's" pool.
In 2013 there was an inspection where it was "recommended" that a barrier (railings) should be erected between the two for H&S reasons.
Subsequently we are being told:
(a) that this is now law,
(b) that without a barrier the communal site insurance public liability will be nul and void,
(c) that if there was an inspection recommending a barrier that we will be fined if there is a re-inspection that finds that the recommendation was not implemented.
Problem is, the owners are split between those that are happy to pay for a barrier, and those that refuse unless the requirement in law can be proven to their satisfaction.
Does anyone know the factual answer to this, and ideally able to point me to the relevant law that will satisfy any doubters (Always assuming that it actually is a legal requirement).
Any help will be gratefully appreciated.
Thanks.
