Leicestershire Fire Service, Consultation, Not Prepared to Hold a Public Meeting, Service Cuts, They are happy to Pay £40 to carefully selected people, Video

Leicestershire Fire Service publicly funded, Consultation, Not Prepared to Hold a Public Meeting, Service Cuts, They are happy to Pay £40 to carefully selected people, Video



Rutland County Councillor Alan Walters asks Fire Officers Question.

The public could have attended this meeting and followed the complicated process
of asking questions and deputations relating to the item on the agenda.

BBC East Midland Today gave publicity, but in true Rutland Tory Fashion the council
never gave out the time or location of the meeting.

Attendance was less than 5.

Roger Begy OBE Tory Leader gave a incredible performance during the TV interview. I thought we
were going to require another emergency service!

Not many councillors asked sensible questions, often asking questions, where the answers were
given the presentation by the fire officer. Some even repeated question asked by others.
Other asked questions answered in a paper report they had been previously given. The public were not given a copy of this report, copies of the agenda were also unavailable. So much for new laws
preventing hidden documents at meetings, Rutland County Council is fast become as dysfunctional as
Oakham Town Council.

The Fire Officer was attacked and called a liar. Called a liar for stating new homes
are safe and don't burn down in ten minutes once construction is complete.

A shocking but not unusual performance from our mainly Tory Council! If I was Leicestershire
Fire Service I would want to give up Rutland.

Rutland County Council say Oakham Fire Station is Safe Regional Fire Control Centre May still go Ahead

Rutland County Council say Oakham Fire Station is Safe

Mr Roger B Begy (Conservative) - GREETHAM WARD  (Leader of the Council) asked if Oakham Fire Station would remain open.
Mr Kenneth A Bool (Conservative) - UPPINGHAM WARD (Vice-Chairman of the Council) reported the Fire Authority has said Oakham and Uppingham Fire stations are safe. There is a strong possibility of future reinvestment into Oakham Fire Station.

He also said the previous government had planned 8 regional control centres. The cost of this had proved to costly so most had been scrapped.


The planned new control centre to include Rutland may still go ahead although it is likely Northamptonshire Council wont be included as it seems they are opting for partnership with Milton Keynes
