£2m of frontline cuts for Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service 'reversed'

Cuts to Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service have been reversed, according to a union.

The Fire Brigades Union stated in a press release that £2m of cuts, which would have seen firefighters and appliances lost at London Road and Stockhill stations, have been stopped. Nottinghamshire's Fire Authority will meet tomorrow to rubber-stamp the agreement not to make cuts - a proposal which is recommended for approval.

If the cuts had gone ahead, West Bridgford Fire Station would have had to close at night due to a lack of funding for the night shift. Members of the FBU previously attended a meeting of the Combined Fire Authority, on September 23, 2022, where they campaigned for the proposals to be stopped.
