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.
