Perth and Kinross Council's (PKC) Conservative group is calling for PKC's leader and chief executive to request additional Scottish Government funding to reverse the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) cuts.
As part of the £36 million of cuts the SFRS has to make over the next four years, it is decommissioning one of three appliances in Perth and reducing its workforce.
This week the Conservatives will table a motion urging PKC's chief executive Thomas Glen and SNP council leader Grant Laing to meet with the cabinet secretary for Justice and Home Affairs Angela Constance and with community planning partners in the SFRS to express PKC's "serious concerns" and "to call upon the Scottish Government to provide sufficient additional funding to reverse these cuts".
