Labour’s parliamentary candidate for Truro and Falmouth Charlotte MacKenzie today welcomed the news that Cornwall County Council is allocating an additional £1.1 Million to local fireservices, ending the recruitment freeze imposed by the Liberal Democrat led Council in 2005.
She said:
“This is a victory for everyone who has campaigned for the Liberal Democrats to move local fireservices up the list of priorities. It will enable full-time firefighters to be recruited so that engines do not go out from local firestations without a full crew. Labour led the campaign to lift the fireservices recruitment freeze and I’m delighted that this proposal has been agreed by the full Council.”
“No guarantees have been given for Falmouth. Labour’s petition to save Falmouth’s 24-hour cover will remain open until the Council takes a final decision on Falmouth firestation and cuts are ruled out; it can also be signed online at www.charlottemackenzie.com .”
