A public consultation on how the London Fire and Emergency
Planning Authority can make £6.4m of budget savings for 2016/17 is
being held between Monday, 7 December 2015 and Monday, 1 February 2016.
Members of London Fire and Emergency Planning Authority approved two proposals for consultation, both of which would ensure no fire station closures and no firefighters would be made compulsorily redundant.

What are the differences between the two options?
The main difference between the options is around the 13 fire engines that have been out of service for two years as part of Brigade's strike contingency arrangements.If you require the document in a different format or if you would prefer a paper version of the consultation questionnaire, please email consultation@london-fire.gov.uk or call 0800 689 3489.

Navin Shah, Labour AM has urged residents to go to the meeting. He said:
“With our fire services facing uncertain times, and response times already rising significantly in Brent, it’s important that local people have their say over the future of London’s fire service.
“The Mayor’s cuts mean that there are very tough decisions ahead. If you take fire engines out of service then of course response times could rise and lives could be put at risk. Nobody wants to see that happen. With frontline services at stake, it hugely important that local people are given the opportunity to make their views known.”
