'There has been no justice' - Mum devastated at no prosecutions over girl's Ingoldmells caravan fire death

The mum of a toddler who died in a fire at a Lincolnshire caravan park says "there has been no justice" for her daughter after being informed there will be no prosecutions. In August 2021, Natasha Broadley, tragically lost her two-year-old daughter Louisiana Brooke-Dolan after a fire broke out in their holiday caravan on the Sealands Caravan Park in Ingoldmells.

Natasha has been campaigning for more mandatory health and safety measures to be put in place for caravans and in June 2023 she travelled to Westminster to fight for legislation changes. The Newark mum met with MP Robert Jenrick, the former Fire Minister, Chris Philp, as well as the National Caravan Council and the British Holiday and Homes Park Association.

For more than a year Natasha has been waiting for progress to be made, and although she has helped tighten some rules around health and safety, she has now been told any criminal charges in relation to her daughter's death are unlikely. On Friday, November 15, Natasha received a letter from her MP informed her that criminal charges would not be brought forward.

Natasha said: "I just can't believe it, it feels like I'm back to square one. It absolutely breaks my heart." The mum said the letter included an explanation from the Rt Hon Dame Diane Johnson, who is the new Minister of State for Policing, Fire and Crime Prevention.

Whilst Natasha said she took some comfort from helping to improve the situation for other families when it comes to health and safety in holiday caravans, the mum feels her family has still not had justice. She explained: "Obviously I feel that something has been done about the situation but I don't think there has been any justice for Louisiana and our family, her siblings. what if."

Natasha finds herself facing a lot of 'what if' scenarios, sharing: "They are small words, but have a very big meaning to me."

Louisiana would have been turning six on Saturday, November 23, but Natasha shares she has been unable to do anything on the day since the tragedy. She explained: "I get myself into that much of a way that I don't know what to do on her birthday.

"I just cry all day, how can I celebrate. People say it does get better, but it feels like it's getting harder for me as I still have questions."

The mum described Robert Jenrick as being "very helpful" with the situation and shared that he is "writing to the Attorney General to ask them to look into my baby's case so fingers crossed."

Natasha feels strongly that the case should be reopened, and claims that laws were broken and those responsible should be prosecuted. Following the recent update that criminal charges are not expected to happen, Natasha says: "I'm on the waiting game again but I have been here since the day she died, there has been no justice for her yet."

MP for Newark, Robert Jenrick has stated that the family "deserve justice." He said: "I’m deeply disappointed that the investigation has not led to a criminal prosecution.

"I know that this will be painful for Natasha, who deserves justice and the knowledge this couldn’t happen again. I will be writing to the Attorney General requesting this is reconsidered.

"My thoughts are with Natasha and her whole family as they continue to deal with the challenges of this truly heartbreaking tragedy.”
