FIRE AND RESCUE IN CORNWALL

Early day motion 73, tabled 6 November 2007 by Mark Prisk (Conservative). Signed by 45 members.

That this House condemns the proposals by the Liberal Democrat Group on Cornwall County Council for re-organising and so reducing the effectiveness of fire-service cover; strongly commends the excellent fire service personnel; notes the grave concerns of people in Newquay about the recent tragic fire at the Penhallow Hotel and the ability of the fire service to respond; further notes with great concern plans to now remove 24 hour whole-time cover in Falmouth and Camborne; and calls on the Liberal Democrat-run county council to listen to local people and use the available resources to prioritise front line services.
