Fire Brigades Union and Labour to draw up plans to ‘transform’ the service
FIREFIGHTERS and Labour will jointly draw up plans to “transform” the fire-and-rescue service if Labour comes to power on Thursday.
Fire Brigades Union (FBU) leaders and firefighters met shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper today in West Yorkshire’s Dewsbury and Batley Parliamentary constituency.
The transformation plans will include the establishment of national standards of fire cover that will end a “de facto postcode lottery” following 14 years of Tory cuts.
