Fire authority challenged over chief officer's part time role

Devon and Somerset's fire authority are being asked whether they approved the decision to allow the chief fire officer's job to become part-time.

In a letter to the authority, the Fire Brigades Union also express grave concern that Lee Howell will be working as an advisor to the Welsh government two days a week.... as a programme of spending cuts is being rolled out in his fire service.

The FBU's regional chairman Bob Walker says they want to know if the councillors who make up the fire authority were happy with the move.
