Full-Time Fire Service for Bray, Enniskerry & Kilmacanogue

Full-Time Fire Service for Bray, Enniskerry & Kilmacanogue
Why this petition matters
The need for a Full Time Fire Service for Bray, Enniskerry & Kilmacanogue has been evident for many years. As our towns & villages expand and development the need has continued to grow. The brave committed staff of Bray Fire Service need our support now more than ever. Our communities need this vital service.
On Tuesday 1st of September 2020 all 8 Bray Councillors passed the following motion;
“That this Council calls for a full and independent review of the Bray Fire Service as a matter of urgency.
The rapidly changing landscape of the greater Bray area both in terms of commercial and residential development requires a Fire Service that is functioning at an appropriate and sustainable operational capacity.
Wicklow County Council should commission a report to re-examine the requirement for a Full-time Fire service for Bray which gives consideration to both the needs of the community and the wellbeing of the Fire Service Staff.
On the 1st of December 2014 a report was issued on the provision of a Full-time Fire Service for Bray. This report was based on a number of data sources, including population data from the 2011 census. Giving consideration to the population growth in Bray, Enniskerry, Kilmacanogue and surrounding areas, the increased development both in terms of residential and commercial units and the length of time since the last assessment was carried out, an independent review of the current services and future needs are now required to ensure adequate service provision can be planned.”
This is not a political issue. This is a community issue. Let’s stand together. Please sign this petition and show your support.
