Fire & Rescue Service Consultation

A three-month public consultation is now under way, which is seeking the views of local people like you on the future of South Yorkshire Fire & Rescue. Like most other public sector organisations, SYFR expects to lose a significant amount of its Government funding over the coming years. They are asking for your views on some key issues around how they can continue to provide the high standard of services people expect, but with reduced money available. 

You can read the consultation booklet by visiting www.syfire.gov.uk and looking for the “Public Consultation” story on the front page.

Alternatively, to receive a hard copy version of the booklet in the post, e-mail: press@syfire.gov.uk. Make sure you include your name and full address in the e-mail. Or text FIRE to 87023. Or write to Consultation, South Yorkshire Fire & Rescue, Eyre Street, Sheffield, S1 3FG.

This consultation doesn’t make any specific proposals or recommendations. Instead, it asks for your views on key issues to help contribute to the development of future plans. At the end of this consultation, SYFR will consider all the responses and use them to help inform the development of more concrete plans for the way it proposes to deliver services in 2011-14. They will publish those more specific proposals in autumn 2010 and there will be another public consultation then. 

Once you have read the consultation booklet and considered your response, you can complete the online survey on their website or write your answers in the booklet and post it back to the address above. The deadline for responses in Monday 2nd August.
