Consultations

The Fire Authority consults with its stakeholders, including members of the public, around a number of issues and always welcomes feedback. The main topics for consultation are:

  • The proposed budget and council tax increase for the following year. This is usually completed in January.
  • The Integrated Risk Management Plan (IRMP) and annual Service Improvement Plan (SIP) - detailing what the Fire Authority plans to do to further improve the Service. This is usually carried out in the autumn/winter.
  • Equality Scheme - this details how the Authority ensures it offers a fair and equal service to all communities it serves and does not inadvertently prejudice or discriminate anyone. It includes an action plan of work the Authority intends to complete to ensure the Service is accessible to everyone in the community. This is a three year plan.

Public Survey

The Fire Authority is required to conduct a public satisfaction survey once every three years to meet its statutory requirements. Surveys of this type are important to ensure high standards are maintained and to obtain vital information that helps to inform future direction and policies.

Current consultations

We do not have any consultations currently ongoing. However, we always welcome feedback about any aspect of our Service, especially if you feel we can improve the service we provide. If you have any comments, please use the online feedback form which can be found under 'Contact us'.
