Motion detail
This Assembly condemns the financial constraints being imposed on the London Fire Brigade by the Mayor that led to proposals to close fire stations and cut fire engines.
This Assembly therefore supports the decision by the London Fire & Emergency Planning Authority to reject the proposed cuts to the London Fire Brigade. These cuts were rejected by:
- Over 1,300 Londoners who attended the 24 meetings
- The 21,770 Londoners who signed 13 petitions opposing the plans
- And 94% of the online consultation responses received by the London Fire Brigade
We call on the Mayor to provide the necessary funding to enable the London Fire & Emergency Planning Authority to maintain the front line response service that the population of this city demand.
