The Fight for Folkestone Fire Services Goes On
January 22, 2008 11:27 AM
Following the close of the public consultation on proposed cuts to Folkestone Fire Services Shepway Lib Dems are urging local residents to continue to make their view heard by lobbying members of the Fire Authority directly.
The final decision on the cuts at Folkestone Fire Station will be made by the Kent Fire Authority at a meeting on 20 February.
Shepway Lib Dem Leader Lynne Beaumont said:
"Lets make sure the voting members of the Fire Authority get the message - these cuts will make Shepway less safe, and people will die. Whether people call, write or email, don't leave them in any doubt of our position on this. The more people that make the point, the more they will understand the strength of public opinion."
Kent Fire Authority is made up of 25 members, all of whom are Kent County Councillors. The Authority has 16 Conservative, 5 Labour and 3 Lib Dem members.
