A Kent-based business, Canterbury Masala Ltd, has been sentenced by Folkestone Magistrates Court for failing to ensure adequate fire safety measures were in place at its premises, Masala Gate in North Gate, Canterbury. The company has been issued fines, a victim surcharge, and ordered to pay costs following safety concerns identified by building safety inspectors from the Kent Fire and Rescue Service (KFRS).

During a visit in June 2021, KFRS inspectors discovered multiple safety issues at the takeaway shop, prompting legal action. On 5th July, Canterbury Masala Ltd appeared in court and pleaded guilty to four breaches of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which placed individuals at risk of serious injury or death in the event of a fire.
