London Mayor Boris Johnson has decided to drastically cut London Fire and Rescue Services  by 550 front firefighters and 10 firestations. This will enable him to reduce Chris part of council tax by around 7p per week per household. I expect most would prefer the reassurance of keeping those 550 firefighters and fire stations.

For East Dulwich it means espouse times going up from 6 min 30 seconds to 6 mins 37 seconds. We’re lucky that these cuts are unlikely to have a drastic impact. But the changes will reduce the depth of resources available which has to be of real concern to use all.

if you think these cuts aren’t right for London then email Boris and tell him.
