Thanks @GarethDaviesVoC for your support. The FA must read this,letters from concerned employees of North Wales Fire and the public,that they have received,and make the right decision. ✅Vote option 4 or ✅vote to chuck it out and start again! The future of NWFRS is tomorrow!

Well said ⁦ @DarrenMillarMS ⁩ Why move half (14) of Rhyl’s staff from a station that does 800 calls,to a station that does 100 calls AND which has part time staff?That leaves the remaining14 to do 800 calls,now on a part time, non guaranteed basis!

MS strongly opposes proposals which would lead to a reduction in cover at Rhyl Fire Station

❌Say no to a reduced Service. ✅The public, the FBU and the CFO want a growth option. Why allow the Fire Authority to remove your right to be consulted in a growth option? North Wales Live

Shutting fire stations in North Wales tourist hotspots would be 'huge loss'

This incident isn’t a ‘one off’.A family describes their experience of a rapid fire service response & subsequent rescue by a full time,24/7 crew.Under m’ment plans,this just won’t happen & there’ll be a huge increase in response times. Is it right to gamble with people’s lives?

The consultation was commissioned by the FA with the intention of improving fire cover,if it returns with a loss of 5 stations, 22-74 jobs,fire engines + a downgrade of fire cover,has it achieved its objective?Last night the CFO laid the responsibility at the door of the FA.

If you’ve completed the consultation or wish to complete it again as you weren’t happy with your decisions, here’s how we suggest you complete the questionnaire for options 1, 2 and 3. Why accept a reduction in service? Include FBU options 4 and 5!

CFO now states she wants to include a ‘growth option’ in the consultation. The Chair/FA Audit C’mitee rules out a growth option. The CFO does not give her professional support to Option 3. The FA then include Option 3 within the consultation. Is there a serious problem here?
