THE FULL SUFFOLK COUNTY COUNCIL SHOULD VOTE ON FIRE CUTS, NOT JUST THE 9 CABINET MEMBERS.

THE FULL SUFFOLK COUNTY COUNCIL SHOULD VOTE ON FIRE CUTS, NOT JUST THE 9 CABINET MEMBERS.

The Issue

We Need YOUR Help

WE BELIEVE THAT THE FULL SUFFOLK COUNTY COUNCIL SHOULD VOTE ON CUTS TO OUR FIRE SERVICE, NOT JUST THE NINE MEMBERS OF THE CABINET
A vote for cuts of this severity MUST be made by FULL Council, so all residents of Suffolk's views are represented. The Nine Members of Cabinet only represent 17% of the voting population. This means 83% of peoples’ views will not be represented.
Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service are looking to make the following cuts:
· 50% reduction of Fire Engines in Ipswich (from 6 to 3)
· Closing Wrentham Fire Station
· Removing a Fire Engine from Lowestoft
· Removing a Fire Engine from Bury St. Edmunds
· Downgrading One of Sudbury’s Fire Engines to a smaller vehicle (details unknown!)
