Labour Party representatives thoroughly enjoyed the political awareness day organised by the FXU Students’ Union on the Tremough campus.

Labour Students ran a successful stall with the local Labour Party. They were welcomed with overwhelming support from students for Labour’s petition to save 24-hour firecover at Falmouth firestation.

Truro and Falmouth Labour Party’s youth rep Anna McGlynn said: “It was great to talk to students at the event, and hear from them what their concerns were. There’s clearly a lot of strong feelings about local issues like housing in the area, and public protection. Their enthusiasm for signing the petition against ending twenty-four hour fire cover in the area was an indication that this issue is one that impacts on everyone in the area.”

Labour’s parliamentary candidate for Truro and Falmouth, Charlotte MacKenzie, who started the firestations petition, said: “The students we spoke to at Tremough have a clear message for the Liberal Democrats at County Hall: don’t cut Falmouth and Penryn’s 24-hour firecover.”
