- Wales
North Wales Fire and Rescue Authority want to save money by cutting one of Wrexham's fire engines and losing 24 firefighters' jobs. Wrexham is the largest town in the North, it has 43% of the region's arsons and a large number of road-traffic accidents, which the fire service attends.
The Welsh Government wants the borough's population to grow 20% in the coming years and in 2017 a new prison - the second largest in Europe - will open. Again, the fire service will be expected to attend any incident.
These additional pressures will lead to a lack of cover for the rest of the area, endangering life and putting property at risk.
We, the undersigned, call on the North Wales Fire and Rescue Authority not to cut the Wrexham fire appliance and 24 firefighters' jobs.
