Pic: Croydon Council On visiting the basement flat – a converted vault from when the building had historically been a former Barclays bank branch – inspectors also found Category 1 hazards relating to fire safety, lighting and excess heat. These included no fire escape route except through the kitchen, a lack of natural light as there were no windows in the living room or bedroom, and no natural ventilation. PICTURED: Bedroom.

However, the Croydon Council found the flat was still being rented out after Mr Roe’s appeal was dismissed in August that year.
So Solid Crew star Lisa Maffia has been acquitted of attacking a stylist in a London hair salon in a furious row over £90 straighteners.
Allegations that she scratched the arms of Rebekah Groves, who she treated like a sister , during a fracas in Tulse Hill, south London, were dismissed by magistrates today.
Croydon Magistrates Court heard that Maffia had attended the salon in May last year to ask for the return of several sets of hot comb hair straighteners which Ms Groves had been selling on her behalf.
When she arrived there had been two other women in the shop, a friend of Ms Groves and a woman she did not know.
