Consultation on fire service spending cuts ends today

The public consultation on proposed measures to cut the costs of Devon and Somerset fire service ends today.

Managers are planning to introduce several changes including scaled-down crewing arangements in parts of the area, to reduce spending by five and a half million pounds over the next two years.

The fire authority have approved the proposal, but the fire brigades union are strongly against the cuts, which are in response to a dramatic reduction in government funding.
