Decision details

RESOLVED:

That the following response be provided to the consultation on the proposed creation of a new combined Fire Authority for Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Portsmouth and Southampton.

“That the District Council recognises the pressure on all public bodies to deliver services in the most efficient way, in the face of financial and other challenges.  Having examined the proposals and the expected outcomes, the District Council supports them, whilst emphasising the need for a smooth transition, and for the local service to be protected so there is no detrimental effect on public safety.”
