Fire And Rescue In Cornwall

EDM number 73 in 2007-08, proposed by Mark Prisk on 06/11/2007.
Categorised under the topics of Emergency services, Fire services and Local government.

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.

This motion has been signed by a total of 46 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
