Luciana Berger - Labour MP

Yesterday, along with Merseyside Fire and Rescue Chief Dan Stephens, I co-ordinated a meeting between Merseyside MPs, and Local Government Minster Bob Neil MP. All who attended the meeting told the minster how concerned they were that current and future budget cuts will severely damage the Merseyside Fire and Rescue Services.

Over the past two years the Government has made cuts to the fire service’s budget, twice the national average. Worryingly DCLG Ministers are expected to announce further reductions later this year.

Our fire fighters do incredible work, placing themselves in dangerous situations everyday to save lives. Any further budget reductions will severely impact their ability to provide the excellent service that residents across Merseyside have come to expect. There are particular concerns about the damage that would be done to response capability and prevention.

Any other commentary from the mets?
