Decision time on controversial fire service spending cuts

A decision's due later on the planned spending cuts at Devon and Somerset fire service - which are strongly opposed by the firefighters' union.


The fire authority will be voting on whether to approve the corporate plan, which includes some scaled-down crewing arrangements to help cut spending by 5.5 million pounds over two years.

The chief fire officer Lee Howell hasn't ruled out cutting front line firefighter jobs in the future, if the funding cuts continue.
