Rugby's Fire Serice Consultation Meeting

Yesterday it was Rugby's turn for a local meeting concerning the proposals to reorganise Warwickshire Fire & Rescue Service. I have previously attended meetings in Bedworth & Brinklow and Rugby's was a lower key affair since there is no plan to close the local Fire Station. However Rugby will be affected as when Rugby's appliances are out of the station attending a call, which can often be on the Motorway with the M1 & M6 passing round the town, cover is currently provided by Southam and Brinklow. There are a couple more consultation meetings across the county and the consultation period finishing soon. I have voiced my opposition and I know many others have also done so.
