<p>The welfare of our staff is of course our principal concern. Whilst the issue of
supplementary heating has not been raised by any of the Doorkeepers through the usual
management channels, I can confirm that the situation has already been assessed and
a simple solution, involving the closing of a fire door, has been identified, which
will be implemented immediately, subject to consultation with the fire safety team.
In addition, the high level windows in library corridor, which had been contributing
to a cold draught in the corridor, have now all been closed.<br></p><p>The Doorkeepers
are on post for a maximum of 30 minutes at a time, and the post is rotated daily between
a team of 11 Doorkeepers, so the team should find that the proposed solution will
deliver immediate benefits to their working environment.<br></p><p>The Library Corridor
is not presently heated. It is lined on both sides with bookcases which means there
is nowhere to install any radiators, and the pipework to do so currently does not
exist.</p>
