admin note: unfortunately I have been away and this post was not approved for publishing until after the meeting date.
october 2011 saw south yorkshire fire authority agree to a 14 week public consultation on the proposed closure of 4 fire stations and the building of 2 new ones that also includes removing 5 frontline emergency fire appliances.
unfortunately for us, as residents of royston and the surrounding areas,one of the fire stations and fire engines to be CUT is royston fire station. this station has already seen the loss of a full time pump.
located on high street the station currently has one fire engine crewed by dedicated members of the community. this retained pump also serves the village of notton if this fire station was closed a pump would have to come from wakefield, there will be a public meeting at ROYSTON CIVIC HALL ON WEDNESDAY 7th DECEMBER AT 7 PM . please can you show your support . south yourkshire fire authority say it would provide a better service how can closing a station make it a better service it can not.
