Fire chief warned over cuts proposals at Glasgow stations
Scottish Labour’s Keiran O’Neill has written to Ross Haggart, the chief officer of the Scottish Fire and Rescue service, highlighting fears that the community will be put at risk if the move is rubber-stamped.
Councillor O’Neill also says that he is concerned any temporary cut could then become permanent – as well as putting jobs on the line.He added: “While I recognise this proposal is currently only a temporary measure from September, I am sure you will understand there is genuine concern that what is temporary at the moment will become permanent in the future.
We previously told how there are plans to withdraw three appliances from Maryhill, Cowcaddens and Govan community fire stations later this year.Senior fire officer David Murdoch has defended the temporary move, claiming that they will “continue to have a fully crewed first appliance available and measures will be the least impactful way to make cost savings.
